Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shut down Donda Academy on Wednesday, according to a letter sent by principal Jason Angell that was acquired by outlets including ESPN and TMZ. A second announcement was released after the original announcement was made, saying the school was re-opened.
On Wednesday, Angell wrote “at the discretion of our Founder, Donda Academy will close for the remainder of the 2022-2023 schools year effective immediately.” He also noted that the school would re-open in September.
About four hours later, according to TMZ, a message from a group called Parents of Donda sent a message instructing parents and students that school would remain in session on Thursday.
