ControversyIn 2013, three Collegiate Academies schools — Sci Academy, George Washington Carver Collegiate and G.W. Carver Prep — had the highest suspension rates in New Orleans.[1][1] At Carver Collegiate, 69 percent of its student body were suspended during the 2012-13 academic year; at and Carver Prep and Sci Academy, the figures were 61 percent and 58 percent, respectively.[1][2] The suspension rates led to the Southern Poverty Law Center sending an open letter to Collegiate Academies.[1] Students were sent home for matters as trivial as "laughing too much ... hugging a friend and most commonly for being 'disrespectful,'" according to The Times-Picayune.[1] Allegations of the treatment of special-education students were particularly startling, including violations of the federal law that 10 suspensions of a special-education student should trigger an immediate meeting.[1] In 2014, a coalition called Better Education Support Team joined more than 30 students and their relatives in filing a complaint against Collegiate Academies that its disciplinary policies were so severe that they bordered on child abuse and violated federal civil rights laws.[3] The plaintiffs asked the U.S. departments of Justice and Education to investigate.[1] The incidents that led to the complaint led to three students withdrawing and protests.[1][4][5] Students created a list of grievances that said, in part[13]:
In addition, students complained that they lacked textbooks or even a library and that the material being taught was below grade level.[6] In 2015, Collegiate Academies were amongst the New Orleans charter schools subject to a federal judge's landmark New Orleans special education settlement that tightened the state Education Department's oversight and required third-party monitoring.[7][16] Louisiana Department of Education issued a notice on Jan. 6, 2016, that George Washington Carver Collegiate had, indeed, violated a special-education student's rights when the school suspended him for a full month.[8] Recognition
