Every Wednesday EDceptional CEO Rev. Sebrone O. Johnson and Dr. Paul Miller, CEO of Charter Champions discuss education topics in Rochester. In this episode, Jasmine Mathis, dean of the Citizenship & Science Academy of Rochester, joins to debunk charter school myths: https://bit.ly/3qAQr0O
Myth: Charter schools selectively choose to enroll only top students
Reality: Students are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis through a random lottery process
Myth: Charter schools lack accountability
Reality: Charter schools have more accountability than traditional schools and they are closed if they do not meet the promises outlined in their charters
Mathis also shares examples of how charter schools can build equity by giving students of all ages a voice at the table.
