Charter school fights uphill battle in Loudoun County

Loudoun County’s would-be first public charter school has four meetings left to win over the county school board, but so far the school has not had much success.

The Loudoun Math & IT Academy applied to be a public charter school that would serve students in grades six through 12 — starting with nearly 200 students in grades six and seven in its first year — and focus on math and information technologies, according to the school’s August application.
