Yet you didn't mention that we were the only school to have a 100% pass rate for the Algebra 1 EOC last year. No county school can claim that- and my students deserve recognition for that. Plus the county, and the state, removed all advanced classes for 6th and 7th grade, and CCA still offers an advanced program. I'm surprised, Jamie. You usually do a better job of encapsulating the entire story.

I have a child in CCA and I'm not rooting for it to close. There plenty of success stories and some really great educators who work there. But those, unfortunately, are not the metrics by which the school is judged for charter renewal. And once I looked at the underlying structure and governance of CCA it's hard to feel good about where a lot of our taxpayer dollars are going. I hate all students, families, teachers, and staff that will be disrupted if the vote goes as expected today.
