Office of Charter Schools Policy Framework Signatures
5) Office of Charter Schools Policy Framework Signatures - We need to make sure that we have copies of all of the listed policies in this framework information attached, and to verify if they have not changed since 2019, The Board Chair and I need to sign this document so Mrs. Curatolo can notify the Office of Charter Schools. If they have changed, we will need copies of all of the policies listed so that she can upload each one of them to the Office of Charter Schools by the 31st of this month. Please see the attached document regarding this item. We need to make sure we stay on top of these compliance tasks in our renewal year, so prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.
If no changes no board vote needs to be made.
