Hart School District officials met with Ms. Maggie Ford from Albert Einstein Academy Wednesday morning to confirm that the Hart-Einstein Charter in Santa Clarita (grades 7-12) will be closing.
Ms. Ford shared that the school will not be pursuing any additional appeals through the courts or through the California Department of Education.
The Hart School District stands together with the leadership of Einstein to help anxious families successfully navigate this difficult period of transition. To that end, both the District and Einstein are working together to facilitate the transfer of those interested in enrolling with the Hart District.
“As has always been the case, every Einstein student is guaranteed enrollment at their school of residence,” said Mike Kuhlman, assistant superintendent of the Hart School District. “With today’s news, we have once again reached out to our site principals and have asked them to take special care to assist those families coming from Einstein.”
Those interested in hearing about enrollment options in the Hart School District should contact the office of their school of residence and ask to speak with the registrar. Additional questions can be referred to Ms. Kathy Hunter at khunter@hartdistrict.org.
For those students who wish to continue their education with Einstein in Acton-Agua Dulce, an informational Open House for students in grades 7-12 will be held on July 27 at the Agua Dulce Partnership Academy from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Students enrolling with the Hart District will have their records automatically transferred. Those pursuing options outside of the Hart District should contact Ruth West at 661-702-0755 to ensure that they obtain all necessary records.
Parents from Albert Einstein Academy for Letters, Arts, and Sciences (AEALAS) were notified Wednesday that the school will surrender its charter from the Acton Agua Dulce Unified School District.
In a report released for the March 1 Board meeting, Hart District staff is recommending to not renew the charter petition for Einstein Academy.

More than you can ever know especially for those who have been involved with the school before it even officially opened and whose kids have been there since seventh grade and would’ve been graduating in 2018 from there. Now as seniors they have to split up.
Again I REITERATE I’m sure a rapiest did not help the situation? Unless of course you think raping multiple boys would have zero effect on any school….. Never said it closed because of the rapes… Just said im sure the situation did not help…..
@Samantha Venturella they mismanaged money, had several law suits etc. What is surprising to me is that most parents of the kids that went to this school are outraged and surprised. Five years ago when I moved here I looked at applying at this school, however after doing some investigation I found it to be questionable. It is very sad for the kids, however as parents we know the risk involved in sending our kids to these schools, or we should. For Charter schools to work we need to demand complete transparency, and have parents be involved with overseeing the funds.

Very sad news
More than you can ever know especially for those who have been involved with the school before it even officially opened and whose kids have been there since seventh grade and would’ve been graduating in 2018 from there. Now as seniors they have to split up.
Such a shame.
Im sure this situation did not help

This had nothing to do with it.
Again I REITERATE I’m sure a rapiest did not help the situation? Unless of course you think raping multiple boys would have zero effect on any school….. Never said it closed because of the rapes… Just said im sure the situation did not help…..
Does any one know why they closed? Used to teach after school enrichment classes there ? seemed like such a good school.
It’s been a prominent local story these past six months.

The kids will survive. If they truly are friends, they will get together no matter what school they go to.
