Congressman announces $100,000 grant for charter school that fails Latinos and children with special needs
This afternoon, Congressman John Larson announced that the Jumoke Academy will be getting a $100,000 grant to support the charter school’s efforts to take over the Milner School, one of Hartford’s public schools.
Along with the press release, Congressman Larson said, “I know this funding will go towards helping our younger generations receive the education they deserve.”
Really Congressman?
Thanks to the Malloy Administration and the leadership of the City of Hartford, the public school that was once known to the neighborhood as the Milner School, is now called the Jumoke Academy at Milner.
After financially starving the Milner School for years, the City of Hartford and the State of Connecticut have suddenly “come up” with $2 million for renovations and up to $1.5 million
