Lillie May Carroll Jackson Charter School

Lillie May Carroll Jackson Charter School (LMCJS) was granted a charter in May 2013 from Baltimore City Public Schools, making it the first charter granted to an independent school (Roland Park Country School) in the nation. LMCJS is now undergoing growth and changes that are crucial for its long-term organizational success. The school serves 275 students at the former Chinquapin Middle School building, but is moving to a permanent location next year–the former Paquin School on Sinclair Lane. When it moves, the school will expand to serve 350 girls at full capacity. To manage the growth and transition to new space, the LMCJS board voted on a leadership structure change to help ensure the stability of the organization as it grows, putting the executive director as the organizational head of the school (the previous model had the executive director and principal as co-leaders). This Management Assistance Grant provided funds for executive coaching.
