School Tech Connect: Charter Meeting Thursday Night in Bowmanville

School Tech Connect: Charter Meeting Thursday Night in Bowmanville:


Charter Meeting Thursday Night in Bowmanville

Raise Your Hand is putting out a red alert on the new Concept charter school that the appointed state charter commission just inserted into Chicago. There's a meeting Thursday night of the Bowmanville Community Organization; I hope people can go.

Charter Schools - Dividing Communities since 1991



Concept Charter School Coming to Lincoln Sq/Bowmanville?
Despite the fact that the Board of Education rejected the application for expansion of this charter, Concept Schools appealed the process at the state level and was approved last night to open a new K-12 school likely in the Bowmanville area at Hoyne and Balmoral not far from “underutilized” Trumbull school and many other schools that are working towards building their enrollment.
If you are in the Amundsen, Budlong, Chappell, Jamieson, and Trumbull boundaries you should consider how this school would impact enrollment and funding at your schools.
What can you do? Attend a community meeting THIS THURSDAY at North Community Bank, 5241 N.
