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

After Sophie B. Wright Charter School doled out five-day suspensions to approximately 30 students who participated in a senior prank and banned those students from prom and commencement exercises, a roomful of people turned out for the school’s regularly scheduled April 9 board meeting. They were presumably there to express their anger at the severity of the punishment, but those folks didn’t get to officially address the board because the board didn’t muster a quorum.
