Parents and charter leaders urge Seaside board to meet with Cannon Beach Academy about charter amendment and transportation
Summary
Multiple public commenters, including Cannon Beach Academy leaders and parents, asked the Seaside board to schedule a meeting to discuss a charter amendment and to address bus/transportation and funding concerns for students attending the charter.
Representatives of Cannon Beach Academy (CBA) and several parents used the public-comment period to request a structured dialogue with Seaside School District. Phil Vincent (speaker 21) asked that CBA be placed on the board’s April agenda to discuss a proposed charter amendment and ongoing communication between the charter and the district.
Parents described how CBA changed their children’s experiences—one parent said, “My kid is happy. He is healing. He is thriving academically.” Several speakers also raised concerns about transportation: in some years a bus served Cannon Beach Academy students, and parents asked the district to revisit transportation availability because lack of a bus affects attendance and family logistics. The board agreed to schedule a work session and asked staff to arrange a full-board briefing and to circulate the charter and related documents in advance.
