An Ann Arbor charter school that lost its authorization while in the midst of a legal battle with its former management company is among four Michigan charter academies that have closed this year.

Ann Arbor Learning Community, which is alleged in a lawsuit to have failed to pay hundreds of thousands in fees to its former management company, Global Education Excellence, did not enroll students this fall after it was informed by Eastern Michigan University in November 2021 that it would not renew its charter when it expired in June 2022.
