Ahead of the vote, Anderson said he did not “disagree” with the district’s findings that the school is under- performing, but he did not believe there was adequate community engagement around the decision. “I just can not endorse the process of school closure,” he said, adding that this is the first time in about a decade that DPS has not renewed a charter school’s contract.
