Petition background:

Although known nationwide and celebrated for its reputation of academic excellence and of its innovative way of getting the job of educating children done well, Mama Christine Wiggins and Imhotep Institute Charter High School (IICHS) located at 6201 North 21 Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19138 are under attack. For not only has the dedicated founder and competent CEO developed and enhanced a formula that works she also has documented proof of its effectiveness. This urban school has ethically and proficiently managed to produce many student scholars and leaders, enjoys the ongoing support of strong parents, teachers, and community, and created a much needed respect for cultural competency. Unfortunately at the hands of an incompetent principal and rogue board of directors, the parents, students, teachers and the school are seriously suffering. IICHS has an impressive seventeen year track record of taking all children regardless of their academic achievement and bringing these children’s academic levels up, cultivating a productive attitude towards learning, improving their study and research skills, and instilled the importance of becoming lifelong learners. Educational management organizations and other school districts have approached Christine Wiggins, affectionately known by the students and community as “Mama Chris,” to find out how to do what she and her team have been able to do and do well. Our children's education should be our top priority. We must stop the rogue board and any other entities in their tracks and keep our school open, restore the cultural focus and return Imhotep to its original mission.
