The State University Charter School Institute has opened a probe into whether a Success Academy charte♔r school in Brooklyn improperly used its discipli🌸nary policy to force out struggling students, The Post has learned.
SUNY — which licenses charter schools — plans to demand more information from the high-performing Suc𝐆cess Academy and other charter-school operators about their disciplinary and suspension policies before signing off on new charter applications or renewals.
SUNY officials are responding to a bombshell “Got to Go” list 𒈔of troubled students kept by Candido Brown, who recently stepped ♍down as principal of Success Academy in Fort Greene.
“Our focus is on making sure that suspensions and discipline are not being used improperly to encourage students to dis-enroll,” institute Director Susan Miller Barker⭕ said in a letter to Success Academy chairman Samuel Cole.
Success Academy CEO Eva Moskowitz said she i♔s confident SUNY will find that Success Academy acted “quickly and decisively” at the Fort Greene school.
