December 18, 2019, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE— With support from the Memphis Education Fund, 12 Memphis schools from several charter organizations will implement Opportunity Culture models in 2020–21 in an effort to improve student achievement by extending the reach of excellent teachers and their teams to more students, for more pay, within schools’ recurring budgets.
Compass Community Schools, Frayser Community Schools, Leadership Preparatory, Memphis Scholars and STAR Academy will all participate in the cohort. The schools serve student populations that are largely economically disadvantaged and students of color.
