This Charter School is opening in Montgomery County after two successful appeals by this applicant to the Maryland State Board of Education.  

...Having found no reasonable, articulated basis for the denial of the charter, we reverse the local board’s decision.

...For all these reasons, we reverse the local board’s decision denying the Appellant’s application to operate a charter school. Pursuant to Md. Code Ann., Educ § 9-104(d), we remand the matter to the local board and direct the board to grant contingent approval of the Appellant’s charter application and execute a contingent charter agreement consistent with our decision.
