Board to Hold Hearing About Potomac Prep PCS
On November 17, the Public Charter School Board (PCSB) voted to initiate revocation proceedings of Potomac Prep PCS’s charter. The school opened in 2005 and serves grades PK3 to 8. On December 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the school, the PCSB Board will hear from the public at an informal hearing to end the schools’ charter. The hearing is open to the public.
The proposed revocation is based on a recent charter review conducted by PCSB staff. The School Reform Act (SRA) states that the eligible chartering authority “shall review [a school’s] charter at least once every [five] years. In this review, PCSB staff found Potomac Prep PCS failed to meet the majority of its goals and academic achievement expectations. It did not meet 17 goals, partially met two goals, and met one goal as stated in their charter agreement with PCSB.
