What happened

On March 9, 2026, the board voted 7-0 to let Third Future Schools manage Morehouse Elementary School for at least three years, starting in 2026-27. The state Department of Education and the Recovery School District recommended it.

Why it matters to families

A private school-management group, not the district, will run daily operations at Morehouse Elementary. That can change leaders, staff, schedules and programs for students there.

The evidence

The draft minutes of the March 9, 2026 special meeting record the joint state and Recovery School District recommendation, the motion, and a 7-0 roll-call vote.
