Good News for Charter School for Math and Science

Brian Hicks approves.

At least, that's the gist of his P & C column in Wednesday's paper, School Has Marks of Success. Hicks makes several points about CSMS that makes me wonder if he's been reading this blog:

  • "It's hard to understand why anyone would have a problem with another good school, open to the public, on the peninsula. But ever since a group of parents had the idea for the Charleston Charter School for Math and Science, people have been taking potshots."
  • "The truth is, Math and Science couldn't be more diverse: 49 percent of the students are black, 44 percent are white."
  • "Principal David Colwell, who was formerly at North Charleston High, has never failed to increase diversity in his school staff."
  • "The student body and, frankly, its board look like Charleston."
One quibble from me: the school needs to start using its blog to communicate the good news.

How did CCSD let Colwell walk from North Charleston High School two years ago? The word is he was even doing the job for $25K LESS than the parade of idiots which has followed him? Unbelievable.
