MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two KIPP Memphis schools will keep their charters after the Shelby County school board voted on Tuesday.
The vote allows KIPP Academy Middle School and KIPP Collegiate Elementary School to stay open, despite low test scores.
Last September, KIPP Memphis hired a new CEO and pointed to the new leadership as a sign of progress for the schools.
Now, KIPP will have to provide an action plan for the next three years. The board must approve that plan.
