RIVERVIEW GARDENS HAS FINALLY LOST ACCREDITATION

The state Board of Education voted to remove Riverviews accreditation for the second time in three months. The Board has finally decided to knock the Riverview Gardens district from provisional to unaccredited status. Now, this comes after the Board of Education has taken over the City schools, and an appointed board began running those schools last week. in Riverviews' case it's more likely that the board would create new options for where students attend school rather than appoint a board of their own. This may be a good thing if the board decides to bus the children to different, and better school districts.
