Network 49 is a resident led community organization representing more than 750 residents and focused on improving education, safety, and community development in the 49th ward. We have considered in detail the application submitted by KEYS to CPS Office of Innovation to open a new charter school in Rogers Park. After carefully considering the application in its entirety and based on our close involvement with the existing neighborhood schools, Network 49 OPPOSES granting a new charter to KEYS for the proposed KEYS Nineveh charter school.
We encourage KEYS and its supporters to work with our existing CPS neighborhood schools to improve their programming and address deficiencies KEYS may have identified, if any. Our reasons are outlined below.
