3 resign from board at Delaware charter school

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- Three members of a Delaware charter school board that's under review by the state Board of Education have stepped down.

Anthony White, the board president at the Reach Academy charter, resigned at the start of an emergency board meeting Thursday. The move came two days after parents demanded that he step down. Two other board members also resigned. They are being replaced by new members.

The state education department has threatened to close the all-girls school over operational and financial mismanagement. The school of about 200 students opened this year as the only all-girls public school in the state.
