District’s Charter School Review Teams Recommend Denial of Three Charter Applications PITTSBURGH, February 3, 2014 – The lack of curriculum, a plan for meeting the needs of all students, as well as the inability to provide expanded educational options beyond those available in the Pittsburgh Public Schools prompted the District’s Charter School Review Teams to recommend the Board withhold charters for the Homewood Children’s Village Collegiate Charter School, Provident Charter School for Children with Dyslexia, and the Robert L. Vann Charter School. The Charter Review Teams presented their recommendations at this evening’s Education Committee Meeting. The Board will vote on all three charter applications at its February 26, 2014 Legislative Meeting.
