As our scholars, staff, and families enjoy the holiday season and winter break, we want to express our gratitude for everyone who is working together to build magical schools for our kids. You’ve created a community that wants for all children what we would want for our own; in fact, there are almost 60 of you who are so committed to our schools that you are both employees and Success Academy parents!

In an article published on Friday, November 9, the New York Times claimed that I have damaged the charter school movement by “praising” President Trump and allowing Speaker Paul Ryan to visit one of our schools. The article is untrue and does a considerable disservice to public discourse by promoting a highly divisive and partisan worldview.

Last week, my organization — The Paper Bag Players — honored Eva Moskowitz with The Susan Newhouse Award, which we give each year to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional support of our mission and vision. The Paper Bag Players is a performing arts organization founded 60 years ago by modern dancers, along with an […]

Without urgent action, it will be your administration that evicts 70 diverse children, teachers, and staff from a nearly-empty school building without cause. You must right this wrong immediately.

It’s wonderful to hear from former staff. Thank you, Ms. Gaines, for taking the time to write me and share your thoughts — and thank you for the contribution you made at SA and are now making in Tennessee.

In the past few weeks, Success Academy parents have shown amazing support and appreciation for our schools, as they have defended us publicly in the press and privately to friends and staff.

By standing together with families from across the city, we will send a powerful message to our city leaders: The profound and appalling education inequality that divides our city must end.

A school, like a rocket, is a delicate mechanism. So many things can go wrong when teaching children, just as when building and launching a rocket.

I am especially pleased to recognize the 24 winners of this year’s Success Academy Teacher Excellence Awards for their outstanding work and deep commitment to the highest standards of excellence.

Last December, your office promised in writing to approve co-locations for four Success Academy schools by June 30 of this year. The deadline for filing the paperwork necessary to meet that deadline has passed, and only one co-location has been found.

While this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, in my mind, every day is teacher appreciation day.

On the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to extend warmest thanks to all the members of the Success family.

A few weeks ago one of our ninth-grade scholars delivered a welcome address to a group of distinguished guests at Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts.
