West Roxbury Academy
A 15-year-old student at the West Roxbury Academy was ordered held when he couldn't come up with $50,000 for bail at his arraignment on charges he stabbed a schoolmate three times this morning, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Even if he makes bail, the Dorchester resident, not named because of his age, will remain under house arrest, the DA's office says.
His alleged victim, a 17-year-old student from Roxbury, was rushed to a local hospital for emergency surgery.
The Globe reports the announcement.
Interim School Superintendent John McDonough had originally included the school, housed in the former West Roxbury High School, in a list of schools to shut to close a budget gap.
West Roxbury Academy students plan a protest outside City Hall tomorrow over BPS plans to shut their school and send them somewhere else in the system.
A T rider forwarded photos of fliers posted on the wall on the outbound Orange Line platform at State Street this morning calling for the protest between 4 and 6 p.m. outside City Hall.
