Academic Leadership Charter School is under city investigation for allegedly reviewing the academic files of students applying for a seat in the school. Students in charter schools are supposed to be picked randomly by lottery without an examination of their prior records. Several former teachers and a number of parents told investigators stories of school officials reviewing files and weeding out weak performing applicants to deny them admission. Norma Figueroa-Hurwitz, the current principal, saw success while running Public School 83 and Sisulu-Walker Charter School.
