The New York Board of Regents Monday reversed its surprising decision last month to close a high-performing Buffalo charter school after a strong campaign from the school’s families.
The Regents in May voted to close Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School, which has a 94% graduation rate and met nine of the 10 state performance benchmarks. At the time, the Regents expressed concern for money being taken away from Buffalo Public Schools, particularly in a recession triggered by COVID-19.
