Board approves five‑year renewal for Horizon Charter and updates memorandum of understanding with district
Summary
The board approved a five‑year renewal of Horizon Charter School's petition through June 30, 2031, and approved an updated memorandum of understanding with the district to set roles and responsibilities for the charter‑authorizer relationship.
The board approved a five‑year renewal of the Horizon Charter School petition on Sept. 16 and adopted an updated memorandum of understanding (MOU) that clarifies the authorizing relationship between Western Placer Unified School District and the charter.
District staff recommended the renewal, saying the petition “demonstrates fiscal stability and strong governance” while noting areas for continued work such as math instruction. John Gerard, superintendent of Horizon Charter, was present for the item.
During the meeting a trustee moved and another seconded the motion to approve the renewal petition for a five‑year term through June 30, 2031; the board chair called the voice vote and announced the motion passed. The board also approved an updated MOU that accompanies the renewal and sets out “key roles and responsibilities” for the next five years.
Meeting minutes show the board did not receive written public comments on the renewal prior to the hearing. No additional conditions or implementation schedule beyond the MOU language were recorded in the discussion.
