Steve Richards spoke against approving the Charter School Application.

Following the public input, discussion ensued among the Board and staff.  The majoirty of the Board felt the overall application was lacking and insufficient for approval.  Dr. Burse was allowed to come back to the podium and continue her appeal; however, Mrs. Studdard reiterated that this was not a subjective process and there was no provisional approval. Superintendent Van Zant reconfirmed the Charter School Review Committee's recommendation and recommended the School Board deny the application.
