Re: Notice of Non-Compliance Level 2, SPLC CAP (Enrollment)
Dear Mr. Meinig and Ms. Keyes:
I am writing to inform you that Success Prep @ Thurgood Marshall is receiving this Level 2 Notice of
Non-Compliance based upon recent outcomes of a formal review of the school’s special education
practices conducted by the Louisiana Department of Education Division of Program Monitoring (LDOE)
and the Independent Monitor, under P.B., et. al v. John White, et. al, Case 2:10-cv- 04049. NOLA-PS was
notified by the LDOE that Success Prep @ Thurgood Marshall was placed on a Corrective Action Plan
for non-compliance with Enrollment obligations under the P.B. Consent Judgment, based upon LDOE
and independent monitoring of your school during the 2019-2020 school year. Therefore, the school is
considered not in compliance with its contractual obligations regarding supporting students with
disabilities.
At this time, Success Prep @ Thurgood Marshall is not meeting expectations with regards to its legal
obligations under the IDEA, Part B program. It is crucially important that your organization addresses the
concerns noted by the LDOE immediately. In order to return to good standing, Success Prep @
Thurgood Marshall will need to successfully exit the CAP issued by the LDOE. OPSB will await
confirmation of the LDOE’s assessment and make any additional reviews for compliance it sees fit before
Success Prep @ Thurgood Marshall can return to good standing.
We look forward to your compliance by the determined timelines of the LDOE. Failure to respond to
these remedies may result in escalated consequences, including, but not limited to, additional intervention
or reduction in the charter term upon renewal.
Please contact Jennifer McCormick at jmccormick@nolapublicschools.com with any questions that you
may have regrading this letter.
Yours in Education,

Kevin R. George
Chief School Accountability Officer
