ABR applies for charters of three schools
Advance Baton Rouge has applied for the charters of three schools - Prescott and Glen Oaks Middle and Pointe Coupee Central High School. This blog is where you can ask questions, find out about parent, student and teacher meetings and learn about our plans for the schools if the state awards ABR the charters on May 15.
ABR's goal is to change the schools so we can change kids lives. If you provide children a strong and challenging education they will have more options. When you expose kids to different ways to think, learn and imagine, they dream bigger and strive to be more. That means a better job and a better life.
When that happens, we all benefit. It improves our workforce, our economy and our society, regardless of what specific fields kids ultimately decide to enter.
ABR's promise is that if we are awarded these charters, we will provide your children with an education that will provide them more options and opportunities this fall than they have today.
