The Topeka, Kansas school board has denied a charter proposal which sought to make use of the historic Sumner Elementary school building. School developers said they still will fight to develop charter programs at Sumner Elementary, a Brown v. Board of Education landmark. The board rejected three charter proposals. "There were just too many things at this point, months away from the possibility of opening one or more of these charters, that need attention," board member Ned Nusbaum said. Lassiter said she planned to respond to the reasons cited for rejecting the plans and hoped to keep the proposals alive before a Feb. 1 deadline when locally-approved plans must be turned in to the Department of Education for consideration by the state board. If that fails, Lassiter said she will lobby lawmakers to create a process for appealing rejections by local boards.
