The Board is asked to review and approve the FY2025–26 Executive Director evaluation framework and associated Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). The evaluation tool integrates a narrative-based annual report with three strategic objectives that define performance expectations for the coming year. These objectives focus on: 1) navigating the TEACH Prep renewal or transition process; 2) strengthening financial sustainability and CMO service structures; and 3) improving operational efficiency and leadership continuity through systems development. The tool is designed to ensure transparent alignment between Board oversight and the ED’s strategic role, and to support a growth-focused evaluation model grounded in measurable results and organizational impact.

Recommended Action:
Approve the FY2025–26 Executive Director Evaluation Tool and Annual Objectives & Key Results.

Please welcome TEACH Academy of Technologies Principal Josh DeWeerd and TEACH Tech Charter HIgh School Principal James Cordero

The Board is asked to consider approval of the 2025–26 Management Services Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between TEACH Inc. and its operated charter schools. This revised MOU formalizes the scope of centralized services provided by the CMO, clarifies internal accountability within the unified nonprofit structure, and aligns with nonprofit governance and compliance standards. The updated agreement maintains the 9.5% internal management fee reflected in the prior-year draft and consistent with the 2025–26 TEACH budgets approved by the Board in June. Key revisions include clearer delineation of school and CMO responsibilities, updated service descriptions, and language refinements to reflect current operational practices. This MOU replaces the informal 2023–24 draft and supports transparency, oversight, and strategic alignment.

Recommended Action:
Approve the 2025–26 Management Services Memorandum of Understanding between TEACH Inc. and its charter school programs.

Description:
The Board will receive the 2024–2025 Oversight Reports issued by the Los Angeles Unified School District for TEACH Academy of Technologies, TEACH Preparatory Elementary School, and TEACH Tech Charter High School. These reports evaluate each school’s performance in areas including governance, finance, operations, and academic program quality. The purpose of this item is to ensure the Board remains informed of authorizer feedback and identified strengths and areas for improvement. The reports also support ongoing internal planning and charter renewal readiness efforts.'

The Board will receive an update on the charter renewal planning process for TEACH Preparatory Elementary School, which is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026. TEACH Inc. is coordinating with legal counsel at Young, Minney & Corr LLP (YMC) and participating in monthly renewal cohort meetings hosted by the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) to support petition development and submission strategy. The team plans to submit the renewal petition during LAUSD’s October 29–30, 2025 intake window, allowing time to incorporate anticipated 2024 SBAC scores, which are expected to reclassify the school as middle performing on the California Dashboard. This strategic timing is intended to strengthen the petition’s eligibility for a five-year renewal term and reflect the most recent academic progress. The official LAUSD renewal notification letter is included as an attachment.
