Illinois State Board Of Education Reversal Of Chicago Public Schools Revocation Of Amandla Charter School

On March 1, 2016, the Illinois State Charter School Commission released this final decision reversing the Board of Education for the Chicago Public Schools' (CPS) decision to revoke the charter granted to establish the Amandla Charter School (ACS). This document states that the CPS Board did not comply with the parties'’ charter agreement or the Illinois Charter Schools Law when it revoked the ACS charter and that it would not be in the best interests of the current ACS students to close the school at the end of the academic year . . .
