Charter School Review Committee Recommendation of the Orange Park Performing Arts Academy ApplicationAttachment: Charter School Timeline.pdf Attachment: Charter School Review Committee Report.pdf Minutes: The Charter Review Committee recommended to the Board that the charter school application to open a charter school filed by Orange Park Performing Arts Academy (OPPAA) be denied. Dr. Alesia Ford-Burse addressed the Board and requested additional time to amend the application to cure the deficiencies. Mr. Bandy pointed out that per Board policy the deadline to file an application is August 1. Mr. Bickner pointed out that the school board could not waive its own policy without a public hearing and an agenda item created for the purpose of such a waiver. The school board directed that a public hearing be advertised for the limited purpose of a one-time waiver of the deadline for submission of a completed application by OPPAA, thereby extending the deadline to November 20, 2012 with the understanding that if the waiver was granted the completed application would be submitted at the November 20, 2012 School Board meeting. A motion was made and passed unanimously to delay a decision on approval or denial of the OPPAA charter school application until the January 18, 2013 regular School Board meeting. This action was reduced to a written agreement and signed by the board chairman and Dr. Ford-Burse.
