FAME Charter lives on

FAME! It's gonna live forever...

Ok, maybe not forever, but at least for another 5 years.

Last night the Alameda County Board of Education voted to renew the charter of FAME Public Charter School, a K-12 which has campuses in Fremont and San Leandro, and serves all of Alameda County, but with a primarily South Asian and Middle Eastern student population. It serves 760 students from around the county, and oversees 700 homeschooled students.

The school was awaiting the Board's vote to find out whether it will live on, and be able to resume its plans to launch the first K-12 Arabic immersion program in the nation.

CrossCurrents interviewed the school's founder, Maram Alaiwat, recently. You can hear that here.
