Charter school awarded for being 'Safe School'

E.L. Haynes Public Charter School is receiving an award on Wednesday for its efforts to prevent bullying and otherwise maintain a safe school environment.

The top-performing charter school was selected from among the District’s public charters to receive the Student Support Center’s first-ever Safe Schools Award because of its “consistent efforts to better the lives of students,” said Student Support Center Executive Director Carolyn Gardner. The award will be presented at a reception Wednesday night.
