The Miami City Commission chose late last month not to sell the landmark Olympia Theater in downtown Miami to a public charter school – at least not immediately – after the proposed deal was roundly criticized at the commission’s meeting on June 26. Instead, the proposed sale to SLAM Academy was deferred until the commission meeting on July 24 to allow the city to gather public input and answer questions at three community meetings. Those meeting dates have now been set. The first meeting will be held via Zoom on Monday July 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. (register here for the online meeting). The second meeting will be held at the Olympia Theater (174 East Flagler Street) on Wednesday July 16, also from 6 to 8 p.m. The third and final meeting is set for Thursday July 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the city’s commission chambers, 3500 Pan American Drive.
