The superintendent will inform parents of a proposed plan that affects four chronically low-performing schools: Holmes Elementary, Liberty City Elementary, Miami Central Senior High and Miami Edison Senior High.  The schools need to raise their school grade to a C and improve math and reading scores by the end of the school year, or face sanctions including closure.
