Board discusses edits to Bethany and Community Roots charter contracts; Community Roots seeks five-year automatic renewal
Summary
The board reviewed edits to Bethany Charter School and Community Roots contracts; Community Roots requested an automatic five-year renewal to aid building financing and raised calendar/transportation implications if district and charter calendars differ.
Interim Superintendent Kim Kellison reviewed updated charter contracts for Bethany Charter School and Community Roots Charter School during the June 9 meeting.
Kellison said the Bethany contract edits are minor and that district staff had met with the Bethany board to discuss a potential building purchase. For Community Roots, Kellison said CRS requested a five-year contract with an automatic five-year extension to assist with financing for the facility they currently rent; CRS also follows a different academic calendar, which could require CRS to provide its own transportation or pay for First Student services on days when the district is closed.
The board discussed the edits and the concerns about CRS’s request for automatic renewal and calendar alignment; no formal vote on charter contract approvals was recorded in the action items at this meeting.
