This joint resolution honors Leadership Preparatory Charter School for receiving the 2024 Charter Champion Award for School of the Year from the Tennessee Charter School Center. The resolution highlights the school's exceptional performance, particularly for economically disadvantaged (ED) students, noting that the Memphis-based charter school founded in 2015 and led by Valissia Allen serves over 400 students and consistently performs above state averages. Specifically, the resolution emphasizes the school's impressive academic achievements, including 42% of ED students meeting or exceeding English Language Arts standards (placing them in the top 9% of Tennessee public schools) and 37% meeting or exceeding math standards (ranking in the top 19% statewide). The resolution praises the school's data-driven approach, innovative instructional practices, and ability to create a supportive learning environment. It commends the school's administration, faculty, staff, and students for their dedication to academic excellence and celebrates their recognition as a model charter school that effectively supports students from historically underserved, low-income backgrounds. The resolution formally congratulates the school, salutes its achievements, and extends wishes for continued success.
