A charter school in San Jose appears to be closing permanently.
Perseverance Preparatory School, operating out of Grace Baptist Church, opened four years ago over the objections of the San Jose Unified School District, but now a series of setbacks have put the school on the brink of permanent closure.
The school faces closure because it did not turn in required documentation of student addresses in time, which principal and executive director Lisamarie Reid blamed on a sudden resignation of the person responsible to do it. Reid said she turned the documentation in late and the district refused to accept them, costing Perseverance $180,000 in funding.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
"We’ve just had so much trauma this school year that it’s just really heartbreaking to have to have this conversation with families and say, 'We’re going to close our schools now,'" Reid said. The district's decision was the final setback but not the only one. Others include the school having to be rescued by donors last fall when money ran out, losing a new school site location, staffing shortages and the death of a student in May.
