Summit Public Schools, which over the past four years has led the creation of the “Summit Learning Program” currently used by more than 380 schools around the U.S., said today that it will spin out that program into an independent nonprofit as of the 2019-20 school year. Other board members will include Priscilla Chan, who heads the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Peggy Alford, CZI’s chief financial officer and head of operations, and Alex Hernandez, formerly a partner at the Charter School Growth Fund and now Dean of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies at the University of Virginia.
