hen public charter school PRIDE Prep faced the possibility of losing its authorization last week, it wasn t the first time the future of the school hung in the balance. Charter schools in Washington have been plagued by uncertainty ever since voters approved their creation in 2012. If it wasn t a state Supreme Court ruling threatening their existence, it was a lack of stable funding or low enrollment. In 2019 alone, four Washington charter schools closed due in part to enrollment issues. But PRIDE Prep last week was on shaky ground for different reasons. The school had poor academic performance based on standardized test scores, and in April state auditors flagged issues with school financial records and the leadership of its founder and superintendent, Brenda McDonald.

Travel down State Street and surrounding streets to see the Hometown Hero banners dedicated to men who served their country.
Currently there are 22 banners with 12 of those new this year. The banners have a picture of the person who served and their branch of service. The banners depict not only men but woman can also have a banner to recognize their service.
The banners are hung the first week of May in observance of Memorial Day and will remain hanging until Veteran’s Day in November.
“Clarks Summit resident Cindy Coleman saw the banners elsewhere and brought the idea to the Clarks Summit Borough Council,” said Gerrie Carey, Clarks Summit Borough Council president. “We thought it was a good idea and decided to move forward with it. These young men went to serve our country in time of conflict. Many were drafted. Once a year, we memorialize these veterans and recognize them with a banner.”
“This is having a pretty significant impact on the district,” Superintendent Adam Swinyard said Tuesday.
That shortfall will be made up from several sources, including federal CARES funding, staffing reductions and other unspecified cuts, plus a drawdown on district reserves.
The district’s fiscal picture will be revisited during Wednesday night’s school board meeting.
Through November, enrollment is 27,749. That’s 1,100 down from a year ago and 1,776 below projections made during the summer, when this year’s budget was being formulated.
The district receives $9,071 per student annually in basic education funds from the state superintendent’s office, and that comes out to just over $16 million. The district also will lose about $3 million in special education and other funding.
