WKBW Enterprise Charter School, Oak Street, Buffalo & Westminster Community Charter School in Kensington-Bailey neighborhood. If the schools are forced to close by the end of June it would mean nearly 1,000 school students will need to find a new school. “In a bit of shock and certainly very concerned with the decision,” responded Thomas Ess, interim board chair, Enterprise Charter School. “With all due respect, we just don t think that now is the right time for our students to be put in that position.”

Buffalo s Enterprise, Westminster charter schools to close

Westminster Community Charter School / Facebook The Buffalo School Board Wednesday evening pulled the plug on two academically troubled charter schools. The board said Westminster Community and Enterprise charters had failed to be better than the regular public schools and will close. The School Board has the power to close the two schools because it had issued the charters initially something rare in the charter world. More often, charters come from Albany. The closures impact nearly 1,000 students. Those who want can remain in the Westminster building, but the future of Enterprise’s location is yet to be decided. Board President Sharon Belton-Cottman said the two schools had long underperformed.
