Executive Director Report: Update on New Hope Charter School
Herinder Pegany shared the following updates with the NHCS Board:
- The Midyear Local Control & Accountability Plan (LCAP). This is a new process beginning this year for charter schools. The NHCS staff and leadership team continues to work on the LCAP with consultant Ryan Cosens on the 3 Goals, metrics and actions. Casey Jower, NHCS Fiscal Team Lead, completed the mid-year expenditures portion.
- Proposed NHCS academic calendar for the 2024-25 school year. This calendar is very similar to the 2023-24 academic calendar. NHCS staff and school leaders have given very positive feedback and support for both the current year and the proposed 2024-25 academic calendar.
- New charter petition for a new TK-12 program was submitted in November, 2023. A public hearing was held at the January 11, 2024 Robla School District Board meeting. Subsequently, this petition has been withdrawn.
