Jallon Brown: Annapolis Charter School Principal

Tyler Currie:

Still, when Jallon showed up in Annapolis last August with her proposal to create KIPP Harbor Academy, she was not received with open arms. For months, the Anne Arundel County school board appeared poised to reject Annapolis's first charter school, which would be publicly funded but independently operated. School board members worried that the charter school would drain students and resources from Annapolis's two existing middle schools. Jallon, who lives in Hanover near Arundel Mills Mall, found herself in constant -- and ultimately successful -- negotiation with school board members and leaders from the county teachers union.
