Parents! End the Black Dropout Epidemic by Creating Charter Schools

Creating your own charter school can be an excellent answer to help end the Black dropout epidemic. While it is not the total answer, it can be a significant part of the solution.

If you are engaged in creating your own charter schools and enrolling your children in them, the chances are close to zero that your child will drop out.

Creating your own charter school will:

• allow you to design the curriculum, 
• hire the teachers, 
• hire the principal and other support staff, 
• make sure your children are getting a quality education, 
• and finally to maintain the  school climatic and culture you desire.

Charter schools week occurs every May. Visit Black Alliance for Educational Options and learn more about recognizing this important initiative.
