Our mission: To preserve, promote, improve and strengthen public schools for both current and future generations of students.

Despite an effort this summer to address educator burnout, staffing shortages at One City Schools will leave about 60 ninth- and 10th-grade students returning to their public school districts in a couple of weeks.

One City Preparatory Academy, which opened with grades six, nine and 10 this school year, will close for the high school students on Jan. 20.
