Two D.C. schools may lose their charters

The D.C. Public Charter School Board is considering stripping two schools of their charters, just one week after another school threw in the towel because of declining enrollment and dire finances. The board will vote Tuesday night whether to pursue the revocation process for Nia Community Public Charter School and Ideal Academy Public Charter School. “It could go either way,” spokeswoman Audrey Williams said.

However, the board has never voted against going forward with the process, which involves a hearing and final vote. And a school has never survived the process.
