He taught for three years, including two years at a Boston charter school. King was among the founders of Roxbury Preparatory Charter School, where he served as co-director for five years and developed its curriculum and rules, such as no talking in the hallways between classes. King then joined the Uncommon Schools urban, public, charter school organization.〔 King later received a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School, and a Doctor of Education degree in educational administrative practice from Columbia University Teachers College.
