"Dennis lacewell, the chief academic officer there. Hey, Dennis, it's John Williams and you're on WGN radio. How are you today? I'm doing fine. How are you all doing today? Good. Thanks for joining us. So the story in the papers and on the radio for the last couple days has been that the Illinois state board of education has denied your school's repeated attempts to keep urban prep open, a high school will open in that building, but under a new name, and it will be controlled by the Chicago public schools. It'll be the bronzeville engelwood high school run by CPS. What is your occupation as the chief academic officer? What do you do there, Dennis? Yeah, so I'm in charge of our three schools, academics, prior academics in our day to today functions in terms of our rituals. Our practices at the school and supervising and managing our principles. It says 90% of the kids graduate high school from urban prep much higher than the state average or the city average. Is that correct? Yes, yes, absolutely. When you disaggregate the data in terms of black males and CPS schools, we far exceed an outperform them and a variety of different student outcomes. Do what percentage of them go on to college. So a 100% of our young men for the 14th consecutive year, a 100% of our graduates have been accepted to four year colleges. We just had our signing day, ritual, a couple of weeks ago where our young men announced to the world at the daily Plaza. The colleges will be attending. Our enrollment rate is typically 75%. I call it consistency rate. We 75% far exceeds the national persistence rate in terms of black males in the country, which is 34%. What's sort of screening do you do to get it? How does a kid get into urban prep? Yeah, we're charter school and charter law requires that there's just application we accept all students, there's no testing that takes place when suicide application doesn't have any grades. It doesn't have IEPs or anything like that. All students are accepted. So there's no screen. Nope. Nope, nope, no cost at all. Where our charter school public schools are charter public school here in the city and anyone in city can apply on the ten to school. I've seen okay, but then how many kids apply? You can't admit everybody. How do you determine who gets admitted? Yes, so for the past couple of years, we've been on a CTS goal CPS, which is their process as far as 8th graders. In which they select the school that they'll be attending and there's an algorithm that matches the students. And so over the years, as the years have gone on with this process, we've noticed our numbers have gotten a little smaller in terms of those matches. But it's also impact to what's happening in the city in terms of student enrollment particularly black student enrollment in the city because that's a large exodus island city. So you're saying most of the kids that apply get accepted these days. Yes, but like I said, the CPS has an algorithm in which they determine the match as far as students. So students have to rank schools that they would like to attend. And hopefully students get their number one choice, but we've noticed that students who chose an urban prep number one is a much difficult process for us to get them. But if you want to come to our process in which you can, you can do so. Okay, so we're visiting right now with Dennis lacewell, the chief academic officer for urban prep which next year will be branded as a different high school. It'll be called bronzeville englewood high school. I understand that many of the people on staff will have the chance to still work there, but it'll be a different experience it sounds like, according to the paper in 11 page explanation by CPS, revealed its recommendation for the charters non renewal. It detailed alleged sexual misconduct and mismanagement at the school, what's happened here? So this is something that's terribly disappointing with CPS closing urban front. We currently have a lawsuit against CBS because they are violating the state moratorium on school closings, the state moratorium was in effect. June 1st, 2022, which explicitly states the CTS wars are not approved any school closings, consolidations or phase out until January 15th, 2025 when there's an elected school board. And so we are fighting this action. These allegations that they have set forth built in four different investigations regarding this sexual allegation two by DCFS, who've come those unfounded and one independent investigator. And so the only investigation that quote unquote substantiate anything was related to was by CTS, but only other investigations by other entities that found nothing. And in regards to the finances, we have for the past three years, well, 17 years of our existence, clean audits. Has three years we've exceeded the reserves amount. That's necessary, of course, that happened in reserves. We pass CPS owned benchmarks for their financial benchmarks for their financial scorecard. We exceeded those numbers. Of course, because I'm going to take a break and come back to you. And I'm not going to litigate this whole lawsuit on the radio. But what I'm especially interested in is what happens to the students then what happens to the standards next year. I was just so sad to see the story in the paper and hear about it elsewhere that urban prep is closing. It'll reopen the building will be there, but it'll be the bronzeville Inglewood high school and that program with the high graduation rate and with the ceremony where the kids announced the schools they've been accepted to in college is going away. What a shame. Dennis lacewell is the chief academic officer for urban prep, and he told us a moment ago that while they're fighting it, we'll let the courts or the school decide if they will prevail. What happens to the program now, Dennis, what happens to the standards in these kids in the neckties for that matter? Is unfortunate and we were we started back in 2006 and I was the founding principle of our first campus back in 2006, we started because CPS they will fail black boys in this city. And the University of Chicago did a study back in 2005, which stated that only 2.5% of black nails who started in 9th grade at CPS only 2.5% of them had a four year college degree by the age of 26. And that evidence there is a reason we started. And so the data point you share earlier, 90% of urban prep graduates full year graduation rate 90%, 90.5%, sepia, 65%. And that includes charter schools and even our numbers in that number from a study that was done by University of Chicago. But again, we already know the result what it will be. They can try to copy what we've done. Are they going to copy that? Are they going to have uniforms? Are they going to have the same standards? Is it going to be coed? Yes, so this is the. Sort of comical in terms of their attempts to try to copy first, we own copyright and trademark of urban prep and the things that we do. But secondly, through these meetings that they've had with the community, there's no community support or interest in this school. The meeting yesterday that they had, there were two to three parents. That was there at that meeting. Since this whole ordeal went down, we still have over 95% of our students since they made that announcement October 26th when they stated that they are doing this unprecedented thing of announcing a closing or non renewal in October to give parents time to transfer their students out. Off families saw what the off families believe in us and are with us in our interested in the school in which they claim will be at the time now. So what's the next let's close with this? What's the next thing on the calendar then? Is there a Quartet? Is there another meeting because the school

"You are in you are in a bonus episode right now. Amazing. We're making this a habit, Gary. Twice in two weeks. I love it. So the reason you are here as you probably know, 'cause we talked about this forehand. We're presenting in episode of the podcast that you host, the Sports Illustrated weekly podcast. It's about the impact and we're talking the impact beyond football. We're talking about the impact on a city, on the people of that city, that a new NFL stadium has and obviously specifically we're talking about SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Yeah, so the Super Bowl is in Los Angeles as everybody knows this weekend between the Bengals and the rams. It's the first time that LA has hosted the Super Bowl in 29 years. And it's at SoFi Stadium, which is just a beautiful first rate state of the art stadium, but it's also in the middle of a neighborhood in Inglewood. So we did a piece for SI dot com about this. And then we have an audio piece on sports illustrator weekly. It brings all these characters to life and explains exactly what it's like for englewood residents to live next to the stadium and what it's meant in terms of economic impact to the community. So I want to start with this within admission. I had looked into this story and so if I stadium was getting ready to open like summer of 2020 and for a number of reasons, the lack of planning and vision and maybe just the absence of the kind of inner drive that a story like this requires. I never got a ton. I never I never really went that deep into it. But I scooped the hell out of you, Gary. I know. It was like watching the better me operate. But this is the kind of story that people and when I say people that includes me that includes us at Sports Illustrated. People in this industry, we don't do enough of these stories. And I was just curious. I know you're a Los Angeles resident. But what kind of called you to this piece? Yeah, I mean, like you like a lot of your listeners, like a lot of people who read Sports Illustrated and consumer content. I love the NFL. My wife works for the NFL. NFL network. And we had gone to a game in earlier in the season. It was the Cardinals at the rams. And man, it was just a beautiful stadium. It wasn't a great game for the rams. They got blown out. But the place is just really everything that you've heard about it is exactly what it is. But on the way in, you have to drive through the community that butts up right against the stadium. I mean, it's just like a residential neighborhood, and then all of a sudden there's this massive stadium there. And I thought to myself, I wonder what it's like for the people who live here because the traffic is outrageous, getting in and out. And it goes, it flows through their neighborhood on the way in. And I thought, you know, 70,000 people forever each chargers game in every rams game. And what do you do on a Sunday if you need milk or something? What happens? And from there, I just started talking to people. And it's a really complicated issue because I think when you talk to residents and activists, they have a lot of complaints. They have complaints about the traffic about rising rent prices about rising home prices that are gentrifying the neighborhood and pushing people out. The influx of people into their community every weekend that there's problems there with noise and just people who don't live there and don't necessarily treat their neighborhood right. But then you have somebody like the mayor of englewood, who is very much in favor of this because he sees economic prosperity for a community that previously when he took over about ten years ago as the mayor, was close to bankruptcy. And now englewood is this what he describes as this economic success story. So it's a complicated story. The mayor of Inglewood, James butt. I will undersell this. I'll just say he's a bit of an atypical politician at the center of this thing. Yeah, I expected him to sort of obfuscate and equivocate and maybe talk about both sides, do some both sides as him. And instead, James botts comes at you, head on. And he is the biggest evangelist you could possibly imagine for the stadium shy of Stan Kroenke, the rams owner who privately financed the stadium and we should note that the rams did not make him or any executives available for the story. Instead, James bought us out front touting and trumpeting the stadium and at every turn where I asked him, okay, well what about the concerns of local business owners or residents who have had to move away from the area? Because it's gotten too expensive for them to live in and previously englewood was one of the more affordable areas in the south Bay Area of Los Angeles, predominantly black and brown over 90% black, Latino and Hispanic. And he said, look, you know, I'm sorry about this, but progress is what englewood needs and look at all the things that we can pay for now. And he outlines all of it. So he doesn't blink at all, even once when you ask him about this stuff. And he is colorful to say the least. You did mention the rams did not participate in this. Obviously you reached out to them. I mean, was it just a flat out, no? We don't have anything to say. It was a no on cranking the executives. They provided me with various talking points. They connected me with SoFi Stadium operations, people who provided me with talking points, and then the NFL reached out the league itself reached out and they also had talking points. All of which are enumerated in the piece. I think SoFi Stadium, the rams and the league are sensitive about this because they have tried to partner with englewood the city of Inglewood in order to have some economic benefits and community benefits, beautification efforts, programs that they've started with englewood high school, working with local businesses to help them with physical infrastructure, giveaways to the community, things of that nature. Because they realize that they just plunk down a giant massive stadium that is helping to gentrify englewood, which is a difficult thing if you're an Inglewood resident who can only afford a certain amount in terms of cost of living, and that cost of living is now rising over the last 5 years since Inglewood stadium project began. So we're going to get to it here. I don't want to spoil any more from this episode. But I do just want to say before we get to it. Speaking as a firmly mediocre, comfortably mediocre podcast, listening to you. Listening to you as well as one of our wonderful producers at Dan bloom. I mean, you guys are sharp and Polish, but also like, you're on air voices are just impeccable and I was just I was overwhelmed with feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. And I don't know, it brought up a lot of stuff. Listen, when I need a quality podcast in my ear, I go for the mmm podcast and the dulcet tones of one Gary grambling, so don't you dare do that to yourself? Oh, you. All right. Well, listen, this is a tremendous body out of this episode. I would genuinely argue, this is probably the best episode we've done at Sports Illustrated. If you don't subscribe to Sports Illustrated weekly wherever you get your podcasts, please go ahead and do it, but right now I am very proud to share with you the toll stadium's take on.
