YCS - Education Department Parent Letter
As you may have heard, the President has signed an executive order instructing the U.S. Department of Education to begin the process of closing the agency. Understandably, this news has created uncertainty about the future of education at the federal, state, and local levels. First and foremost, we want to assure you that our top priority remains the education and well-being of our scholars.
Please refer to this letter from Superintendent Dr. Zachery-Ross: Link to letter with more information.
