RACINE â With a February deadline at the forefront of organizersâ minds, a group is pushing the Racine Unified School Board to take the next steps in what has been a three-year project to create a new charter school in Racine.
Members of the Racine Scholars Academy governance board came before The Racine Unified School Board on Dec. 7 to update RUSDâs board on progress.
School plan
Racine Scholars Academy is a school that has been approved by the RUSD board but does not have a location yet. It is planned to serve students from Pre-K through fifth grade.
The plan would be to start with pre-kindergarten classes through second grade in the first year, then add one grade each year: two classrooms per grade level. Students who apply would be admitted to the school through a lottery system if there are more than 50 students at a grade level. The overall school population would cap at about 324.
