Board unanimously renews Highland Academy charter, approves committee appointments and reports settlement on Measure E
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved Highland Academy's charter renewal through 2029-30, confirmed Measure Z oversight appointments and disclosed a settlement with Riverside County related to Measure E; the Highland renewal passed by unanimous vote.
The Beaumont Unified School District Board of Trustees unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-25-30 to renew Highland Academy Charter School's petition for the 2025-26 through 2029-30 academic years and approved a license agreement for district property use.
During the same series of actions trustees approved appointments to the Measure Z Citizens Oversight Committee, reappointing Keith Bacon (member-at-large representative) and John Ly (business organization member) for third terms.
Separately, staff informed the board that the district had entered into a fully signed settlement agreement with the Riverside County Registrar of Voters regarding Measure E, the district's school bond measure placed on the November 2024 ballot. Staff said a copy of the settlement agreement is available upon request.
Ending: The board moved quickly through these items; Highland Academy's petition renewal drew public support earlier in the meeting from Arthur Congo of the California Charter Schools Association, who cited recent gains on the California School Dashboard and fiscal reserve levels.
