Save the American Indian Public Charter School
Stop the closure of the American Indian Public Charter School.
Why is this important?
My two children attend one of the best charter schools in California. The school recently delivered a 974 API, the second highest test score in the state.
The Oakland School Board has begun the process of closing the school because it did not respond fast enough to a request for corrections after an audit. The school began work on the corrections and asked the School Board for an additional 30 days to finish the corrections. The school board said "no" to the request and instead initiated the school closure process.
This decision will impact 1,200 families in Oakland. It will also deprive Oakland of 1,200 of the brightest students in the entire state of California, as measured by testing.
Watch this 2 minute video made by the students, to see what's so special about this school:
