To the Pencader Family:
We are pleased to announce today that after a discussion with Secretary Lowery’s staff at the Department of Education, the Secretary will recommend to the State Board of Education that Pencader Charter High School will remain open for the 2011-2012 school year.
The State Board of Education will vote to finalize the Secretary’s recommendation at its meeting in Dover this Thursday at 1 p.m. Mrs. Minnehan and Dr. Lewis will represent Pencader Charter High School at the State Board of Education meeting tomorrow.
The Board, administration and staff of Pencader Charter High School wish to thank Secretary Lowery for this decision and the faith she has shown in our school. We are sure you will join us in working hard throughout the next school year to show Dr. Lowery that her faith in Pencader is justified.
We also wish to thank all of those who joined together and supported our school. During the past few weeks we have shown that by working together, there is nothing that the Pencader family cannot achieve. There will be a meeting this Monday July 25th at 7p.m. at the school at which time the Board would like to thank everyone involved in the campaign to save Pencader for all of their hard work and dedication. The Board and administration will also be available at that time to answer any questions the community might have regarding Secretary Lowery’s decision. Thank you all again for all you have done in our efforts to keep our school open. “We are not going anywhere!!”
Sincerely yours,
Harrie Ellen Minnehan Ann E. Lewis, PhD.
President, Board of Directors School Leader

Thanks for all your help, Elizabeth. I cannot describe how happy I am right now!!
I echo Mary's comment. Your help and support meant a lot at a difficult time. This is a good day for Delaware!!
Let's hope this indicates a WAKE UP call to DDOE and the Governor that he is answerable to the lack of proficiency in his Education agency and that much work needs to be done to make that hugely financed staff accountable to our laws and regulations. The DDOE must develop positive oversight according to state law and be proactive in the watchdogging of all who educate our children.
