Darryl B. HeathI am deeply disappointed by the recent reporting on St. HOPE Public Schools. As someone who has witnessed the impact of St. HOPE up close, I cannot allow that narrative to stand unchallenged. Math proficiency remains a challenge, not only at St. HOPE but across the district, and St. HOPE has implemented additional interventions at every level to address it. My nephews have thrived at St. HOPE Public Schools, and countless other scholars have as well. Darryl B. Heath is a pastor at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, Sacramento and proud guardian of two St. HOPE Public Schools scholars.
