DTMS frum paj* A / School, is the first North Carolina school Mosaica has taken on. but Brown, a resi dent of Cleveland, Ohio, believes that will change, since the General Assembly recently lifted its cap on the number of charter schools that can exist in the state. "In North Carolina, the charter industry hasn't taken off in the way it has in other places, and it seems as if now those doors are open." he said. DTMS has been plagued by slipping enrollment in recent years. The student both had dipped to 135 stu dents in the 2010-11 school year, and the school faced possible closure without the help of Mosaica, said Sheri Marshall, the school's data manager and a former DTMS parent. * "We wanted to save the school, so this was our 'Save Our School' cam paign, our SOS," related the Washington, D.C. -native. "We're totally thrilled about (the new leadership). It's new; it's fresh. There's not anything like it in Winston Salem." Mosaica, which helms Photo by Layli Fanner Gail Duggins (left) with Sheri Marshall. the number one school in Michigan and the top charter school in Ohio, has exten sive experience in turning around struggling charters. Brown said. He believes the same will be true for DTMS, which has already recruited 10 new students as a result of its union with Mosaica. The company will be bringing in an entirely new teaching and administrative team to accomplish its goal of breathing new life into DTMS, Brown said. The new curriculum and staff will be in place in time for the start of the 2011-12 school year, and Brown hopes it will soon become a destination for students all across the city. "We want to be a pillar of the community; we want to be a school that everybody wants to come to," he declared. "We don't want to be an alternative. We want to be the choice."
