______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Renewal Charter Petition from New City Charter School ______________________________________________________________________________ CATEGORY: NEW BUSINESS Reason for Board Consideration: Action Date: December 9, 2014 ______________________________________________________________________________ CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION DENYING NEW CITY RENEWAL CHARTER PETITION Background: Pursuant to the Charter Schools Act of 1992, Education Code Section 47600 et seq., the Board of Education of the Long Beach Unified School District is required to review and consider authorization and/or renewal of charter schools. The governing board of the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) received a charter renewal petition from New City at its regularly scheduled Board Meeting on November 18, 2014. In accordance with Education Code 47605 and 47607, a public hearing was conducted on the same date for the purpose of considering the level of support for the renewal petition by teachers employed by the district, other employees of the district, parents, and community members. Pursuant to Education Code section 47605(b), the governing board of a school district shall not deny a petition for the establishment or renewal of a charter school unless it is not satisfied that granting the charter is consistent with sound educational practice and it makes written factual findings, specific to the particular petition, setting forth specific facts to support the findings. District staff has carefully and thoroughly reviewed the renewal proposal. The proposal has been assessed against the standards and requirements, as set forth in the Education Code, in order to develop final recommendations. District staff has noted a number of issues and concerns. Several of the most significant concerns noted are included as proposed findings in Resolution No.120914-A. The specific factual findings in the recommended Resolution are within the following statutory findings for denial of the renewal Charter Petition, pursuant to Education Code Section 47605:
A. The Charter School presents an unsound educational program for the pupils to be enrolled in the Charter School. [Education Code Section 47605(b)(1)]
B. The Petitioners are demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program set forth in the Charter Petition. [Education Code Section 47605(b)(2)]
C. The Charter Petition does not contain reasonably comprehensive descriptions of all of the required elements. [Education Code Section 47605(b)(5)]
Recommendation: The Superintendent of the Long Beach Unified School District recommends that the Board of Education adopt Resolution 120914-A, which denies the New City School renewal charter petition, based on findings enumerated in said Resolution. Prepared by: Approved and Recommended: James Suarez Christopher Steinhauser Assistant Director Superintendent
BOARD OF EDUCATION LONG BEACH UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
