State gives first charter school last chance to improve
But I thought charter schools were supposed to improve education. 
SEATTLE — Washington’s first charter school is being given one last chance to fix its problems.
The state Charter School Commission sent a letter this week to First Place Scholars in Seattle outlining a third problem at the former private school that re-opened as Washington’s first charter school in September.
The new issue involves services to students who are just learning to speak English. The letter from the commission says the school took money from the state to provide special academic help to English language learners but did not do so.
Previously, the commission had questioned the school’s services to students with disabilities and its financial stability.
The letter sent to the school on Tuesday and shared with The Associated Press on Wednesday gave the school 10 days to respond.
First Place Scholars School Board President Dawn Mason said the school is making good progress under new board and staff, including school leader Linda Whitehead, and just needs more time to resolve its issues. She wishes the commission would have given First Place the time it was able to give other charter schools to get ready to meet all the state requirements, Mason said.
