They've had problems ever since they fired the original principal Brandi Davis.
She resigned because she popped a kid in the mouth for using profanity. The mom, instead of acknowledging that her kid shouldn't be using that kind of language, decided to "be appalled". So the principal resigned. She was loved by everyone, the teachers and other faculty, the students, the parents.

Permanent teachers and other assistant staff started to leave because they supported her. Parents took their kids out of the school. And the rest is history. Most here in NE Ohio feel like they COULD have simply suspended her for the rest of the year without pay or something. Especially since, school officials statewide suspend suspected pedophiles WITH pay in situations at other schools and that act is far more egregious and sinister than her popping a kid in the mouth for bad language. But, it is what it is.

The principal was wrong but it should have never made it to the media.

Ms. Davis should've never been forced out.
If the mom had given that kid a smack in the mouth at home, then the child wouldn't have been cussing at school in the first place.

Before anybody jumps in my mentions, I AM NOT ADVOCATING CHILD ABUSE. However, I am a firm believer in discipline; and an earned spanking can be the difference between a child going to jail or going to Yale.

It seems to be a running theme with these charter schools. My son attended 100 Black Men Academy for Excellence in Clark County Nevada. They fired the beloved principal because he did not agree with the curriculum and wanted to use a fair amount of the budget for learning field trips. The parents, including myself, were livid! After he left moral went downhill and teachers left, we left, it was so disappointing. They had the best after school tutoring program that the district director refused to continue to fund. We later found out that the school district never wanted the school to exist and the charter school company that actually ran the academy were all white people who could care less about our culture.. Like everyone knows, Lebron just rented his name out, part of the board but these charter school companies run the school for profit using school district money! SMH
