'We believe that CPS is unable to separate our former CEO and founder from what's currently going on at Urban Prep, the current leadership that exist. And that's problematic.'
For years, the city of Chicago has celebrated Urban Prep Academy for its graduation rate and countless other accomplishments.
Urban Prep Academy, the only all-male Black charter school, known for its 100% graduation rate, is now in the line of fire and in danger of losing its license. "They have the audacity to think that they as be successful taking over Urban Prep and turn it into a program of another CPS high school. It is both ludicrous and infuriating," said Chief Academic Officer Dennis Lacewell.
"Many of the issues they are referencing are from years ago. And it's worth noting that in those years since then, we were approved and renewed each of those years," said Chief Operating Officer Troy Boyd Jr.
