Governor Jack Markell Secretary Mark Murphy (DE Department of Education): Reverse decision to not renew charter for Reach Academy for Girls

The Issue

As a member of the community, I support the ongoing operation of Reach Academy for Girls.  Parents or others who are responsible for making the education decisions for the students of this school have selected Reach Academy as the best option for their child/student, as is their right under Delaware "School Choice" regulations and in awareness of the current academic concerns.  Further, requiring the closure of Reach Academy and returning affected students to any underperforming feeder school is a direct infringement upon these students' right to equal and accessible education.  I have confidence that Reach Academy for Girls will continue to address academic concerns and can do so more quickly and effectively than an underperforming feeder school.  

I demand the immediate reversal of the decision to not renew the charter of Reach Academy for Girls.
