Kudos to David Steiner and John King for taking quick action on this failing charter school. (Hey Seth, here's another school for you! ;-)

The state Education Department took the unusual step of putting a seven-month-old Bronx charter school on probation and is threatening to close the school for financial and educational mismanagement.

The Kingsbridge Innovative Design Charter School opened 10 days late in September and has struggled ever since to pay its bills and to provide the education it promised in its charter application, according to the state Department of Education. It has about 150 students.
