EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Imagine Charter School at Riverview will use the 2008-2009 school year as a planning year and will open in 2009 in the Riverview area. The school will serve students in grades kindergarten through sixth. The curriculum focus will be Project Child, an innovative research-based teaching and learning system. The CHILD model emphasizes reading, writing, and mathematics, with science and social studies topics incorporated through interdisciplinary units of instruction.
A copy of the proposed five-year contract for the school is attached. The original charter application approved by the School Board will become Appendix I of this contract and will be available for review in the School Board Office.

In the event there is a discrepancy between the contract and the charter application, the terms of the contract will prevail.
