Hillsborough County, Fla., charter may have to close

From The St. Petersburg Times: A charter school founded to serve homeless and at-risk students in Hillsborough County, Fla., soon could lose its license to operate as a public school. In an April 17 letter, district superintendent MaryEllen Elia told Metropolitan Ministries Academy she was recommending that the School Board terminate its charter because of subpar academic performance.
