Odyssey Charter School Utah Continued

So what is the latest regarding Odyssey Charter School in American Fork Utah?  I am still going through the budget and will save the finding there for another upcoming post.

It seems though Founders and Honorary Founders continue to bail.  Another bad sign.

One issue recently raised is the proposed desire of the Administration and Board to make all Junior High teachers generalists versus subject experts.  So instead of having a trained teacher in Science, Math, English, etc., all teachers will be expected to teach in any of the subjects.

My expectation is this will have a negative impact on a Junior High system that is already struggling to attract students.  My personal impression is that they feel the week long expensive trip to Greece will make up for this and other weaknesses in the Junior High program.  Personally, I question that line of thinking.
