Baton Rouge middle school closed Thursday for teacher sit-out
(BATON ROUGE)
Democracy Prep, a charter middle school in Baton Rouge, closed Thursday due to a teacher sit-out.
Educators are sitting out due to reported dissatisfaction over the decision to surrender the charter to Denver-based company, Third Future Schools.
The school will be closed Friday and will reopen April 17 following Spring Break. Thursday was a planned half-day for students.
