密西西比州麦迪逊县坎顿市的SR1大学预科与STEM学院，成为密西西比州第一所被撤销特许合同的特许学校。密西西比州特许学校授权委员会10月26日一致投票，终止该校的特许合同，理由是学校未达到合同规定的学业与财务表现要求，也未达到公认的财务管理标准。委员会在声明中说，决定依据的是听证记录中的财务表现与内部控制证据，包括学校的年度财务审计。学校目前有120多名学生，按委员会的安排，学校将继续上课至12月31日，委员会将监督关闭流程，以确保学生有序过渡。校方及其律师截至报道时未回应置评请求。密西西比州目前共有10所公立特许学校，经费来自地方、州与联邦税款，学校须与授权委员会签订合同并设定具体的学业与财务目标，委员会每年对学校进行评估。
Canton, Mississippi Charter School's Contract Revoked on October 26 in State First; Over 120 Students to Transition by Year-End
Canton, Madison County, Mississippi — SR1 College Preparatory and STEM Academy in Canton has become the first Mississippi charter school to have its charter contract revoked. The Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board voted unanimously on October 26 to terminate the school's contract, finding it had not met the academic and financial performance expectations in its contract or generally accepted standards of fiscal management. The board said in a statement that the decision rests on the financial performance and internal control evidence in the hearing record, including the school's annual financial audits. The school currently enrolls more than 120 students; under the board's arrangements it will continue holding classes through December 31 while the board oversees the closure process to ensure an orderly transition. The school and its attorneys had not responded to requests for comment as of reporting. Mississippi currently has 10 public charter schools, funded by local, state and federal taxes; each operates under a contract with the Authorizer Board setting specific academic and financial goals, and the board evaluates the schools annually.
