PENCADER CHARTER SCHOOL
State Board of Education revokes Pencader Business and Finance School’s charter
DOVER – In response to the state Board of Education’s decision Thursday to revoke the charter of Pencader Business and Finance School, House Education Committee chair Rep. Darryl M. Scott released the following statement:
“The state Board of Education’s decision to revoke Pencader’s charter was not one they made lightly, coming after more than six years of trying to work with the school to improve results and get it to perform to the high standards expected from charter schools.
“Despite repeated attempts to improve the governance and organization of the school, the school’s shortcomings continued to have a negative impact on students’ educational performance and overall experience.
“I am disappointed that it has come to this, yet I support the decision. The performance of the school left the board with no further options. Charter schools are given additional privileges and abilities not afforded to all public schools, but with those come additional responsibilities and expectations. They failed to meet those expectations on numerous occasions, and it ultimately became in the best interests of the students and parents of the school, as well as the taxpayers of Delaware, to revoke Pencader’s charter.”
