Agenda Item
17-0830 Adoption by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 1617-0018 - Denying Charter Renewal Petition of Conservatory of Vocal/Instrumental Arts (COVA) - Grades K-8 - Petition and Proposed Charter (Renewal) - for the term July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2022, and Written Findings of Support Thereof.
COVA is a promising school and have a potential to succeed with proper management. Unfortunately, I concur with the complaints raised against COVA's leadership and unfair practices. As a parent of a COVA child, I have concerns on what parents would do if COVA is closed. OUSD schools have deficiencies too and not all could afford private schools. COVA has not fully disclosed why the school is being closed. Document ID 17-0830 should have been shared with all COVA parents to give full disclosure.
