SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Contract Renewal for Channelside Academy Middle School (Chief of Schools)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Charter legislation includes a provision for the renewal of a charter contract for those schools that have successfully completed their contract term.  The district’s process for contract renewal consideration includes the submission of a letter of intent to renew the contract, a comprehensive program review, an update of the charter application, and the development of a new contract.

Consistent with established procedures, a district review team assessed the school’s performance relevant to student achievement, finance, governance, administration, curriculum and instruction, and assessment.

Attached is a school profile and a report of the review teams' findings and recommendations.  Staff recommends approval of a five-year contract for Channelside Academy Middle School. The application update is an original document, including a five-year budget submitted by Channelside Academy Middle School, and will be Appendix I of the contract and is available for review in the Charter School Office.
