The Hamilton Southeastern Education Association (HSEA), the local teachers union, hailed the end of the Opportunity Education proposed charter high school.  The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board was set to vote on this charter school December 11.

A public hearing held on the proposed charter drew 20 speakers, all in opposition.  It is not clear whether the proposed charter had enough votes on the school board to pass.

HSEA says it will continue its work ensuring “HSE’s own students and schools are the priority of the administration and school board.”  HSEA has opposed the charter school.

In a statement issued to the HSE community Wednesday afternoon, HSE Superintendent Patrick Mapes said Opportunity Education has decided to pull its charter school application with HSE.
