The future of the Barack Obama Academy is up in the air. Formally, known as Plainfield Academy for Academic and Civic Development; was founded in 2008. The school's name replaced the old Alpha Academy as an alternative school for students who fail to be successful at Plainfield High School.

Principal Shirley Johnson-Tucker and several key staff members have been transfered to other schools (refer to Inside the Transfers-Part 1 and the BOE Business Agenda for July 20th.) Interim Superintendent Anna Belin-Pyles did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday, and School BOE President Lisa C. Logan-Leach said, "At no time did she (Anna Belin-Pyles) say that the school would be closing, But she also made it clear that if there was any merge or change, there would be dialogue with the students and parents."
Coordinator of Public Information and Spokesman Eric Jones said that dialogue was scheduled for August 4th at Plainfield High School; at the meeting the location and direction of the school was discussed.
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN: Apparently the school's future is up in the air. Will there be a future BOAACD? We will have to see more in the future.
My Prospective: If the school is shut down, I'm sure there is a reason for it. Maybe it will save the District more money? I have more on What the future holds for BOAACD.
