The City School – New Charter Looking To Move Into The Area
At Monday night’s MINC Stakeholder meeting, we heard from a group of people (some from our area) who are looking to set up a new Charter school (middle, high). They are still looking for a location – any suggestions would be welcome. They would like to be somewhere preferably in our Mid-City area.
For the moment, they are doing outreach, and trying to spread the word. See the two attachments for more details.
If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please email info@citycharterschool.org or call 323/834-2489 (323/834-CITY).
