LEARN charter network starts the school year ahead of Chicago schools

The North Lawndale school is one of seven in the LEARN Charter School Network, which usually starts classes in early August and a few weeks ahead of Chicago Public Schools, which this year, starts on Aug. 22. LEARN serves predominantly Black and low-income families. At Romano Butler, about 500 students in kindergarten through eighth grade make up the anticipated enrollment, according to Morehead, in addition to preschoolers.
