Transparency Goes Both Ways – Voice and Viewpoint

Recently, longtime community activist Mr. Clovis Honoré was removed from his position as President of the San Diego Chapter of the NAACP.

What we do know is that Mr. Honoré supports any educational program or platform that provides a high level of service to African-American students – including quality charter public schools.

African American students in charter public schools in San Diego Unified are accelerating their growth on state tests more quickly than their peers in district-run schools and achieving higher rates of readiness on college-preparatory coursework.

It is alarming that support for quality charter public schools—voted and passed by the San Diego NAACP chapter—could be cause for his dismissal.

Mr. Honoré and the San Diego families that rely on a charter public school education deserve to know what happened.
