New KIPP schools should not be allowed to open in Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s local KIPP program (a national chain of charter schools) is seeking to expand and create two new schools for the 12-13 school year. I have reservations. KIPP’s overall program has been called into doubt and their first school in Jacksonville received the lowest FCAT grade in North East Florida. Shouldn’t we wait to see if the program is going to be successful before we allow more KIPP schools to be opened? Is that asking too much when kids future’s are on the line?
