The New York State Department of Education put the Kingsbridge Innovative Design Charter School, which opened seven months ago, in probation and threatened to close it because of fiscal mismanagement.
The school’s founder and executive director, Julio Cotto, denied the accusations and said he has been working with the state to solve the challenges they have faced as a new school.
According to the State, the school will be in probation until May 17 and will have to complete “a 16-point remedial action plan.” (The Wall Street Journal)
