KIPP Delta plans to expand their elementary school for the 2014-2015 due to turning away students this year. Upon reading all their sites, it has always been placed on a lottery system in which most likely students would have to be turned away.
With the population declining in Helena-West Helena, planning to expand a school in the business district of town is deflecting businesses from moving into the Historic Downtown Cherry Street District. When will the expansion stop? Are current property owners in hope their distress properties will be purchased as part of the KIPP Delta expansion? Who is approving the expansion? Is the community being included in all stages of development or is it a few select few deciding the fate of Helena-West Helena?
