Happy ending for the CCA kids
The unfortunate saga of the California Charter Academy, closed for various improprieties last month (click here and here for more), has something like a happy ending. Of the 3,300 K-12 students left stranded by CCA's closure (far fewer than the 10,000 originally claimed), 2,600 have been enrolled in other local charter schools. This good news comes after a Herculean effort by Caprice Young's California Charter Schools Association, which vowed to find openings for as many of those students as possible. It's heartening to know that some people, amidst the mess and recrimination that followed CCA's implosion, kept their eye on the kids.
