On this episode of RAS Reports, Curtis Valentine, the Director of PPI’s Reinventing America’s Schools Project, and Naomi Shelton, CEO of the National Charter Collaborative, sit down with Dr. Lester McCorn, a graduate of Morehouse College and President of Paine College in Augusta, GA.
The group discusses Paine’s role in preparing African-American K-12 students for college, as well as what it would mean for schools like Paine to create schools on campus as an authorizer of public charter schools.
