After years of controversy, Dr. Sam Paoli is out at Charter School of Wilmington. Effective June 30th this year, Dr. Paoli will no longer lead Delaware’s first charter school. In an email sent out from their board, parents were notified of the news.
Following several years of disenchantment from educators at CSW, the board finally decided enough is enough. Last year, CSW educators joined the Delaware State Education Association. Despite complaints to the board about him, Paoli was allowed to stay on. Finally some sanity from this board!
In the below letter sent to parents, it mentions nothing of a “resignation” or “retirement”. Just that he is gone the end of this year.
Who will take Paoli’s place? Will they search from within and have former Delaware Department of Education employee Angeline Rivello lead the school? Rivello is Paoli’s second-in-command at the school. Or will they take someone from the outside and find a way to bring CSW into the 21st Century (or make that the second half of the 20th) and increase their diversity?
