The Patrick Henry Charter School Board is made up of extremely talented and dedicated professionals, educators and parents. They are dedicated to serving EVERY SINGLE child regardless of income, race, creed, whatever. Anyone who judges this school as exclusionary has not read the charter or it’s mission statement, nor has he met the board members. What a wonderful opportunity for the Richmond Public School System to break out of the negative cycle they are in. It’s win-win all the way around.
