Dr. Brady

Chris Barber, of the Daily Local News, recently posted an article about Dr. Brady, the head of Our school, Avon Grove Charter School, and his recent suspension. Per the Daily Local News, Dr. Brady has been suspended with pay by the board of trustees, and this action was effective as of April 1.

Earlier this month the board sent an email to parents assuring them that their children’s education will not be affected by the suspension, saying,

We do not expect this circumstance to have any impact on the valuable educational experience your children receive under the leadership of our teachers and staff.

The board has appointed Kristen Bishop to be in in charge of academics, Donna Archer will assume responsibility for financial matters and Tosha Bowers will be responsible for personnel matters. At this time there is no more information to be announced, as it is a personal matter for the Brady family.

Lily Nardozzi, as senior here at the charter school, remembers all the way back to preschool when she first encountered Dr. Brady and he personally invited her to the school. When the Avon Grove Charter School first opened, Dr. Brady went door to door inviting people to attend this school. Thirteen years later, this approach has yet to change, and all the students highly regard the head of our school.

One of the most iconic memories of Dr. Brady has to be him dressing up in Irish attire and playing the bagpipes at the senior graduations. The hope is that this suspension will conclude quickly, and that Dr. Brady will be back to play the bagpipes again for this class.
