This is disappointing, though I suppose a bright spot is that Crossroads intends to proceed on their own and open by 2018.KCPowercat wrote:Shit

https://cityscenekc.com/crossroads-academy/The Crossroads Academy has found a permanent home for its long-awaited downtown high school, the historic Thayer Building at 816 Broadway.
Acquiring the building marks the culmination of a educational journey that began in 2012 when the downtown charter school opened with 190 elementary students in a former office building at 1015 Central.
Next year, enrollment is projected to grow to 795 students with the ultimate goal of enrolling 1,300. Crossroads also been recognized as a top charter school in Missouri for the quality of its educational program.
“This is a culmination of all the hard work of our staff and parents,” said Tysie McDowell-Ray, Crossroads co-founder and chief academic officer.
“This really completes the journey of a Crossroads student with us, starting in kindergarten and through the 12th grade.”
The Thayer, which currently is used as a DST Systems training facility, will be the third building in the Crossroads Academy downtown campus. In addition to the original facility, the school occupies a former Quality Hill mansion at 1080 Washington St.
