On August 31, 2018, Delaware Public Media ran an article by Larry Nagengast regarding the reorganization of Christina schools and quoted DelawareCAN Executive Director Atnre Alleyne:
None of that has been easy – but the really hard work is only beginning.
“We need dramatic action before we can conclude whether this is a win for students or merely an adult way to plan and strategize,” says Atnre Alleyne, founder of TeenSHARP, a program that helps low-income students prepare for college, and Delaware CAN, an education reform advocacy network.
Alleyne’s point is quite clear: a lot of planning and strategizing will take place during the upcoming school year, and it will take at least a year, or more likely several years, to determine whether the plans put together in the next 12 months will have a positive impact.
