Sojourner Truth Academy
Sojourner Truth Academy was a charter school located in Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana, along Napoleon Avenue. The Recovery School District (RSD) oversaw the operations of the school.〔Vanacore, Andrew. "(Sojourner Truth Academy to close in May )." ''Times Picayune''. Tuesday November 29, 2011. Retrieved on August 3, 2012.〕 The school was named after Sojourner Truth.〔"(About Us )." Sojourner Truth Academy. December 8, 2008. Retrieved on August 4, 2012.〕
==History==
The school was co-founded by two women:〔 Channa Mae Cook,〔 who was 28 when the school began operations,〔 and Kristin Leigh Moody. Both women had decided to start the school after visiting New Orleans in April 2007. In June of that year they moved to New Orleans to begin work on the school. In October they traveled to Baton Rouge to have the Charter School Application for the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) approved.〔 The document containing the charter proposal was 200 pages long.〔 After the approval, the women worked to found the school. It opened on Monday August 18, 2008,〔"(History )." Sojourner Truth Academy. December 8, 2008. Retrieved on August 4, 2012.〕 with the mission of preparing students for university and for promoting social justice.〔 The school started out with a $1.3 million budget. It had 120 students, 8 teachers, one dean of students, one social worker, and a few miscellaneous employees.〔"(Charter Schools Bloom In New Orleans )." ''NPR''. August 14, 2008. Retrieved on August 3, 2012.〕 The school began with only the 9th grade, and added one grade level each year.〔
In the summer of 2011, the school board hired Reginald Flenory to replace Cook as the school's principal.〔 Marika Barto, the former assistant principal, said in 2012 that "()hings went downhill very fast. (Students) now have no custodians, no toilet paper in the bathrooms, no soap. Students are kind of running around the building."〔Satchfield, Scott. "(Fight outside uptown school is latest in series of problems )." ''WWLTV''. Tuesday May 15, 2012. Retrieved on August 4, 2012.〕 Andrew Vanacore of the ''Times Picayune'' said that that several teachers, anonymous for fear that they would be fired if their identities were public, said that "the transition has not gone well, and that the social mission the school has been sidelined."〔
In 2011, as the state reviewed which schools would have their charters renewed, the RSD told the school that it would not recommend renewal for Sojourner Truth Academy. The school announced that it would voluntarily forfeit its charter and close in May 2012. In its history, the school had one senior class.〔 George Saucier, an area resident said, as paraphrased by Scott Satchfield of ''WWLTV'' in 2012 that the school had "a serious lack of control over its students" and that he was not surprised that a fight had occurred outside of the school in May 2012.〔
