Agenda Item
O.-59 25-2578 Adoption by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 2526-0185 - Denying Approval of Proposition 2 Charter School Facilities Program Application of East Bay Innovation Academy for both new construction and rehabilitation projects at 3400 Malcolm Avenue in Oakland.
I am commenting to bring your attention to the critical position we find ourselves in regarding Prop 2. This type of funding hasn’t been available for 7 years, applications are coming due and earlier submissions receive priority. At this time, two strong charter schools have submitted notice to the district: East Bay Innovation Academy and Yu Ming Charter School. . I respectfully ask the board to move forward on these applications and oppose the denial. If these schools receive an award, the district can take more time to consider the individual Facilities Use Agreements needed. I am happy to talk with any board members or staff individually or as a group about this. Thank you for all your efforts to help us ensure that every student in Oakland is housed in a safe, high-quality home.
