Ashe Preparatory Academy is a dream that had a difficult start but it doesn't have to be the end. This letter of support is an effort to support Ashe Prep in keeping its charter by allowing more time for communication, planning and vetting at the discretion of Dr. Sullivan with parent support.

Many of us made great sacrifices to join the Ashe Prep community because we understand the value of an African centered education for our children of African descent. A common thread among parents is the understanding that community and high quality education are paramount needs for our families and we look to Ashe to be the connection place. Things went wrong, and our community has a responsibility to learn from that.

We have all moved on to other educational options for our children out of necessity. Some are moving to homeschool solutions, some private schools, some public. We all feel that our children are still in need of connection with the spirit of Ashe.

By signing this letter we show support of Dr. Sullivan and the mission, vision and values of Ashe Preparatory Academy. We request that the board of directors do all that is within their power to retain the charter.
