For the past few months, CEO Sebrone O. Johnson, along with and Dr. Paul Miller, CEO Charter Champions, have hosted guests to discuss challenges facing students and families in the city of Rochester. In a recent episode, they speak with Raheem Miller, director of Security, Safety & Student Discipline at UPREP Charter School for Young Men.
