Green Dot closing high school

Green Dot Public Schools, one of California's largest and most respected charter management organizations, plans to close one of its 16 Los Angeles campuses, officials announced Monday. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

The 500-student Animo Justice Charter High School in South Los Angeles will close in June because of state budget cuts and low enrollment, Green Dot Chief Executive Marco Petruzzi said.

"Budget cuts have been brutal, and we just cannot afford to have an underenrolled campus open," he said, adding that students at Animo Justice will be able to attend any of Green Dot's four other high schools in South Los Angeles.
