The Globe reports a state authority has stopped paying Boston for renovations to Hyde Park High School because the school is shut.

When BPS officials realized shutting the school meant they were going to lose millions of dollars over several years for work they'd already paid for, they scrambled to find a way to re-open the building - at first announcing plans to relocate Boston Latin Academy there, then dropping that and announcing plans to move New Mission High School and Boston Community Leadership Academy.

State officials remained unconvinced they were getting their money's worth and stopped a scheduled $1.5-million annual payment, the Globe reports.

Meanwhile, the plans to move the two high schools to Hyde Park - and a series of other musical-chair moves - could be in jeopardy because city councilors, who must sign off on $20 million in borrowing for the work, have started raising questions about parts of the move, such as relocating the Mission Hill K-8 School to Jamaica Plain.
