Students in grades 9-12 are not allowed on campus until after November 28, according to a letter from the Missouri Charter Public School Commission, due to "multiple recent incidents affecting the safety of students and staff at each of the academy's campuses."
The Commission will allow the high school to hold online classes this week.
"The school environment has resulted in high rates of student suspension and many teachers considering resigning or not renewing their contracts."
The school is required to submit a safety plan to the commission by November 17 and additional security guards at the middle school campus immediately.
The letter warns if the school can't come up with an effective safety plan it could be shut down permanently. Robbyn G. Wahby, executive director of The Missouri Charter Public School Commission, signed the letter.
