Board Resolution 2020-8: Interagency Loan Agreement
As the high school may not have the operating cash necessary until deferred funds arrive, the high school would like to have the option to temporarily borrow Monsenor Oscar Romero via an interagency loan. Currently, there is an interagency loan agreement between the high school and Bert Corona, although Bert Corona is faced with challenges obtaining federal draw downs for GEAR UP grants due to the closure of YPI. The loan would be interest free and repaid once the high school receives its deferred funding.
C. Lopez made a motion to approve an interagency loan agreement of up to $600,000 between Bert Corona Charter High School and Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter School.
D. Cho seconded the motion.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
