Charter school shutdown

The Arkansas State Board of Education has revoked the charter for the Little Rock Collegiate Charter School for Young Men, shutting down the school immediately. The decision was made yesterday, and the school is closed today! The students were sent home yesterday with lists of schools they were eligible to enroll in. Two months remain in the school year. This is unprecedented, as far as I know. See the school's website.

According to the ADG, the school is almost $200,000 in debt, and had lied about its enrollment. It could not make the next payroll.
