Attended a presentation at the E-Prep School on E. 36th at Superior today. Learned how the school transforms the students' attitude, academic performance, and self discipline. The outcome is that students are accepted to prestigious high schools and are on the right path to go on to college. Exceedingly impressive and important for the kids and the city.
Out of 143 public schools in Cleveland, only 15 get an "Excellent" rating. Six of those 15 Excellent schools are charter schools, including E-Prep.
The bad news is that Governor Strickland is getting ready to cut charter school funding, effectively shutting them down. The outcome: almost half of the top 15 schools in the City of Cleveland will close. How can politicians twist something so good into something that should be eliminated? Just not rational...
You can help: write to Gov. Strickland and ask him to keep the funding for those 6 Excellent schools including E-Prep.
