Chicago Public Schools accused Englewood and Bronzeville Urban Prep charter programs of financial mismanagement in a report to the Board of Education.
It also said the charter failed to provide services for special education students and claims only a third of teachers are certified."Many of the issues they are referencing are from years ago, and it's worth noting in years since then we approved and renewed each of those years," Chief Financial Officer Troy Boyd Jr. said.
Boyd said CPS was set to renew their charter in August, but he claims their tone changed with former Urban Prep CEO and Founder Tim King filing a lawsuit against CPS in September after he was accused of sexual misconduct.The board meeting is set for 10:30 a.m.
