Agenda Item
P.-43 19-2360 Approval by Board of Education of the Amendment No. 1, Proposition 39 Facilities Use Agreement between the District and Achieve Academy, a Charter School, for Achieve Academy to allow temporary co-location of EPIC with Achieve Academy within Achieve Academy's existing space allocation at the Hawthorne Campus for the term from July1, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
This item should be discussed. You voted to close EPIC, you should stand behind your decision as stated in emails from August by Preston Thomas: "we need to stay in alignment with the board on this" and "when we make a recommendation to close a charter, we need to stand behind it." and Sondra Aguilera: "I think we are sending the wrong message of providing an offer of space when we originally denied the charter." FURTHER , Sonali Murarka recommended using it for revenue generation - in a district where our students are suffering from Draconian budget cuts, it is criminal that you would turn away any revenue source.
