This series will seek to tell the other side of the charter public school story in a way that will bring context to what we believe are truths about charter public schools in general, and specifically about high performing networks, like our own KIPP SoCal. In doing so, we hope you join us in refocusing the narrative on what truly matters: a great public school education for all of our children, regardless of zip code, income, language, or ability.
Topics: elementary school, charterswork, charter management organizations, kippsocal, charter schools, cherry-picking, charter renewal, enrollment, public school, district schools, middle schools, open enrollment, Governor Newsome, nonprofit

KIPP x Robotics
For those who might not be in the STEM-know, this has been a big year for KIPP SoCal in Robotics, with gratitude and in no small part due to Amazon's Future Engineer Grant and the large expansion of STEM opportunities this grant has made possible in our schools this year.
