All the questions posed by Nancy Salmon in her March 10 letter to the editor (“Questions about Lionheart”) are easily answered by visiting the school’s website, lionheartclassical.org.
Under the FAQ tab, one of the first questions posed is “What is a public charter school?” The answer is that public charter schools are open-enrollment, public schools of choice. Students may attend any charter school in the state and are not limited by ZIP code. Charter schools are independent, tuition-free and open to all students. Charter schools are held accountable for both academic results and fiscal practices by the state. They cannot charge tuition nor select students. They do not have special entrance requirements, are not religious and cannot discriminate against students on any basis. Charter schools allow all families increased options in public education.
Lionheart Classical Academy is a public charter school and is a superb addition to the educational resources of the Monadnock Region.
