It didn’t take long — only one week — for three of the eight
applicants for new charter schools to be told they did not make the grade.
“We’re becoming more rigorous,” said Jennifer Nagourney, head of the Charter
School Office in the state Department of Education. “That’s one of the
hallmarks of a high-quality authorizer.” On Jan.9, she notified organizers of
the proposed Delaware Math & IT Academy, STEAM Charter Academy and
Education Plus Academy Charter School that their applications were incomplete
and failed to satisfy basic requirements. Many of the deficiencies cited were
related to information about the schools’ leadership and staffing plans. -
