The NY Times reports:

The charter school was approved by the Board of Regents in 2014, but the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” MC’s involvement had not been previously publicized. The school will replicate the model of Capital Preparatory Magnet, a year-round school in Hartford that says it has high graduation and college acceptance rates.

The founder of the Hartford school, Steve Perry, said in an interview on Monday that it was unclear what role Mr. Combs would play in the new school. Beginning in 2011, Mr. Combs recruited Mr. Perry to bring his educational model to Harlem, provided office space and quietly rallied support in the community, Mr. Perry said.

Mr. Perry said:

“It’s important to note it was he who inspired our team to come in and expand into New York.”

“It starts there, and the rest of the role will develop over time.”

The school is set to open for the 2016-17 school year, with 160 students in sixth and seventh grades. School officials said it would expand one grade per year, eventually enrolling 700 students in grades six through 12.

The Charter school is currently accepting applications for students and staff members.
