Retired San Joaquin County Superintendent of Schools Mick Founts and Delta Charter Schools Superintendent Jeff Tilton have co-founded a charter school, one of three charter school petitions the New Jerusalem Elementary School District (NJESD) Board of Trustees approved this week. Founts and Tilton, who co-founded the nationally renowned “one.” program in the early 1990s while both worked together at the San Joaquin County Office of Education, will open The Academy, a sports science-based charter school, in August. Two other new schools, Delta Bridges Charter School and Delta Charter Online #2, will also open in August.
