NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) - The state’s charter school authorizer board is seeking public comments Thursday on a proposed charter school in Natchez.
The Natchez Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/1tec12D ) the public hearing will include a summary presentation on the school by members of the group applying to create the school.
The Phoenix Project Community Development Foundation wants to open the Phoenix Early College Charter School in Natchez, serving grades 9 through 12.
Charter schools are publicly funded, independently operated public schools that do not charge tuition or fees, are open to all students who wish to attend and cannot discriminate when making enrollment decisions.
The school’s curriculum would revolve around project-based learning and character and leadership development, among other instructional methods.
Enrollment into Phoenix Early College Charter School would be by open lottery.
