An Arizona Republic article, on Monday, August 14th commented that Sandra Jakobs’ two-year old charter school for the Deaf, Dimensions Academy is closing. The school is money-strapped, particularly after the school was forced to move from Glendale to North Phoenix and half of the families could not afford the extra mileage. Jakobs will ask its sponsor, the state Board of Education,, if she can keep the charter and reopen the school for kindergarten through sixth grade next August. Sandra and her husband, Jeffrey Joyce, also a school official, have learned that marketing and fund-raising are key. It takes about $18,000 to educate a deaf student. The state pays $8,000 of that, but charter schools must raise the rest.
