Summary
The Western Placer Unified School District board approved a resolution certifying in-district pupil counts and methodology so John Adams Academy can apply to the Office of Public School Construction for new-construction grants; the charter requested up to 540 pupil grants for grades 9–12 and the resolution passed by voice vote.
District staff presented Resolution No. 25-26.27 to certify the district’s in-house pupil calculations and the methodology required by the Office of Public School Construction so John Adams Academy may apply for charter-school new construction funding.
Staff explained the charter filed a letter of intent with the district on Sept. 30 and is applying under the state Charter School Facilities Program. The application requested funding for up to 540 pupil grants for grades 9–12; staff said the charter’s current enrollment pattern and the exhibit of eligibility supported the district’s certification. Staff also said the charter’s application projects adding roughly 366 high-school pupils relative to its current charter-house count.
A board member moved to adopt the resolution; a second was obtained and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
What’s next: With the board’s certification in place, John Adams Academy may submit its application to the Office of Public School Construction; the district did not specify the OPOSC review timeline or the ultimate award outcome at the meeting.
