A nonprofit striving to close achievement gaps and reduce racial disparities in Madison schools may soon run out of money, according to the organization’s executive director. Jeffrey Lewis, who leads Natural Circles of Support, said the nonprofit’s contract with the school district ended in August. The nonprofit has since relied on money from its reserves to continue a program supporting Black students with disabilities at East High School. Lewis recently applied to an outside grant in hopes of continuing the initiative — but to no avail. He said the work could end as soon as this spring if Natural Circles is unable to secure additional funding from the school district or other community partners.
