Chester Upland denies charter applications


As I anticipated, Mr. Receiver rejected a couple charter school applications last week. (Click HERE).

Mr. Receiver, Joe Watkins, said the applications of Choices Charter School of Chester and Chester Hospitality Service Charter High School contained “excellent ideas,” but were not consistent with the recovery plan he developed for Chester Upland under the Act 141 distressed schools legislation.

Yet, a new charter school, 'Chester School for the Arts', was approved and opened this school year while Mr. Receiver vows to create an arts program in the district schools. 

It’s just another confusing message coming out of the school district. 

What’s next?
