With the announcement of Caurus Academy’s Executive Director Dameon Blair’s resignation in February, effective July 1, the charter school’s management is now led by Edkey, Inc., which oversees 16 additional schools in the Valley and a distance learning academy.
The transition began shortly after Blair’s announcement and Caurus Academy’s Governing Board approached Edkey to take over. “Caurus’ Governing and Corporate Boards and Edkey have worked closely to ensure a seamless transition,” said Edkey Assistant Superintendent Jerry Lewis, adding, “If no one knew there’d been a change in charter management, they’d probably not see a difference at all.”
As for changes in leadership at the high school and elementary school, Caurus’ new elementary principal is Sunday Coronado, current Principal of Edkey’s Sequoia Pathfinder Academy. Caurus High School Principal Wendy Davison will be moving up in Edkey’s leadership as its professional development and learning coordinator. Davison will be replaced by Michael Weakley, who most recently has been part of ASU Preparatory Academy Polytechnic High School’s leadership team.
