Monarch Academy in Glen Burnie, Maryland

Sanaa rated Monarch Academy (1/5 stars) on 4/15/2016

This school does not work well with "all children" that have developmental delays/disabilities. Nor does this school follow IEPs. I have never seen a faculty that knows so little about the law, it's like they are simply learning as they go. You can't require a parent of a disabled child to attend a field trip (or threaten that the child won't be able to participate) because you don't have staff to watch the student. That's a violation of the law (IDEA?) and discrimination. That was my initial experience with the current principal, and things have gone downhill since. They should really lose their funding for targeting children with disabilities, as it appears this Charter School is now a business, opening multiple schools, and hiring former Hedge Fund/investment managers (Gregory Gann) to guide them. This is not about the children anymore. I will do my best in Washington to stop the government from funding these "investment firms."
