Biographical History
In Charlotte, a group of interested parents and educators came together as People for Open Education in 1972, with the intent of convincing the school board to create an optional open elementary school. This movement took place at a time when court-ordered busing was taking place and parents began exploring alternative choices in elementary education. Ironically, though many Caucasian families began sending their children to private schools at this time, Irwin Avenue Open School was a deliberate effort toward integrated education, and this school functioned essentially as a private school within the public school system.
