Students, joined by some parents and staffers, staged a brief sit-in on the steps of Boston Latin Academy, which the school department wants to move into the shuttered Hyde Park High School, which would mean the city wouldn't have completely wasted $42 million in renovations made in Hyde Park a couple years back. The BPS plan would then have the Boston Arts Academy, currently in the Fenway, move into the BLA building.
Although Superintendent Carol Johnson has the final say, she has said she wants to wait until after the School Committee discusses the plan. A committee discussion planned for tomorrow night has been postponed until Oct. 24.

Mike Ball's son goes to Boston Latin Academy, which went into "safe mode" (as opposed to "lockdown") today:
The 14-year-old came one today with a little smirk, a twitch over the police at Boston Latin Academy. It seems some kid brought in a live shotgun shell and left it in a john.
By cracky, in my day, the punks would pull a fire alarm and we'd head outside and stare at each other for a half hour. Today's version may involve a phoned in bomb threat, or in this case, a puerile catalytic piece of rubbish. ...
