Consent Items- Items included as  Consent Items will be voted on in one motion, unless a member of the Board requests than an item be removed and voted on separately, in which case the Board Chair will determine when it will be called and considered for action.  

The Executive Director will provide framing and context for the Board as TEACH Inc. transitions from the close of the current school and fiscal year into planning and implementation for the 2026–27 year beginning July 1. This discussion is intended to orient the Board to the volume and significance of annual governance, fiscal, and operational items that will be presented over the next several meetings, including budgets, LCAPs, organizational calendars, annual reports, staffing matters, and related compliance actions. The item is intended to support strategic alignment and provide a broader overview of upcoming priorities and timelines.

The Board will review the April 2026 financial reports for TEACH Inc. and its managed schools. The reports provide an overview of year-to-date revenue, expenditures, cash flow, enrollment and ADA trends, reserve levels, and projected year-end financial performance. The April close is particularly significant as the organization approaches the end of the current fiscal year and begins preparation for adoption of the FY 2026–27 budgets. The item is intended to provide the Board with an updated assessment of the organization’s financial position, fiscal stability, and any material budgetary or operational considerations requiring ongoing monitoring.

The Board will receive an update regarding TEACH Preparatory Mildred S. Cunningham & Edith H. Morris Elementary School’s charter renewal approval by the Los Angeles County Board of Education (LACOE). The update will include discussion of the renewal findings, approval term, and conditions of renewal adopted by LACOE, as well as management’s progress toward addressing required fiscal, governance, operational, and compliance items. The Board will also receive and review the official Confirmation of Board Action issued by LACOE following the May 12, 2026 approval of the renewal petition on appeal.

The Board will consider approval of the updated TEACH Inc. Fiscal Policies and Procedures for FY 2026–27. The revised policy document incorporates updates related to organizational structure, financial controls, procurement procedures, credit card oversight, cost allocation methodology, debt management, record retention, audit compliance, and operational workflows. The proposed revisions are intended to strengthen internal controls, improve operational efficiency, clarify fiscal authority and segregation of duties, and align organizational practices with current legal, audit, and compliance requirements. Approval of the updated fiscal policies supports the organization’s annual governance and financial oversight responsibilities for the upcoming fiscal year and complies with LACOE's conditions for TEACH Prep's renewal.

The Board will consider approval of the updated TEACH Prep CMO Management Services MOU and related Cost Allocation Plan and CMO Fee Methodology for FY 2026–27. These documents were developed specifically in response to conditions associated with TEACH Prep’s LACOE charter renewal and are intended to provide additional clarity, transparency, and formal documentation regarding the allocation of shared organizational costs and centralized management services provided by TEACH Inc. The proposed framework establishes detailed methodologies for CMO fee calculation, cost allocation, annual true-up procedures, and related governance oversight applicable to TEACH Prep. The updated structure applies specifically to TEACH Prep and does not modify the existing CMO agreements currently in place for TEACH Academy Middle School or TEACH Tech High School

The Board will consider the establishment of separate school-site savings accounts for TEACH Preparatory Mildred S. Cunningham & Edith H. Morris Elementary School, TEACH Academy of Technologies, and TEACH Tech Charter High School. The proposed accounts are intended to improve fiscal organization, cash management, and transparency at the individual school level. Establishment of a separate savings account for TEACH Prep is also intended to satisfy a condition associated with the school’s LACOE charter renewal, and management recommends implementing the same structure across all TEACH schools to maintain operational consistency and standardized financial practices throughout the organization.

Description:
The Board is asked to review and approve the required assurances associated with the school’s application to join a Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). A SELPA is a regional consortium of school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education that collaborate to provide special education services to students with disabilities in accordance with state and federal law. SELPAs are responsible for ensuring a full continuum of services, coordinating program delivery, and overseeing compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

As part of the application process to join the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) SELPA, the school must adopt formal assurances confirming its commitment to comply with all SELPA governance requirements, policies, and procedures related to special education services. Approval of these assurances authorizes submission of the application and affirms the school’s intent to participate in the LACOE SELPA and meet all associated obligations.

Recommended Action:
Approve the SELPA Assurances and authorize submission of the application to join the LACOE SELPA.

The Board of Directors will review and consider approval of TEACH Prep Elementary School’s withdrawal from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA), effective at the end of the [2025–2026] school year, and authorize the Superintendent to submit a formal notice of withdrawal and complete all necessary actions to effectuate the transition.

Recommended Motion:

Motion to approve TEACH Prep Elementary School’s withdrawal from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA), effective June 30, 2026, and to authorize the Superintendent to submit the formal notice of withdrawal and take all necessary actions to implement this transition.

This modified schedule includes 5th grade.

The Board will consider a recommendation to approve an amendment to TEACH Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation and authorize submission of the required CalSTRS Charter School/NPBC Certification (Form ES0765) prior to the July 1, 2026 deadline. The item relates to new CalSTRS certification requirements tied to IRS Notice 2015-07 and is intended to maintain TEACH Inc.’s continued participation in CalSTRS for eligible employees. The Board memorandum outlines the operational, financial, and workforce considerations associated with maintaining or exiting CalSTRS participation, along with staff feedback and related risk considerations.

The Board will consider approval of an amendment to the TEACH, Inc. Articles of Incorporation to update the organization’s dissolution provisions in order to comply with current CalSTRS certification requirements and applicable federal guidance under IRS Notice 2015-07. Approval of the amendment is necessary to support TEACH Inc.’s continued participation in CalSTRS for eligible employees and to authorize submission of the required certification prior to the July 1, 2026 deadline. The proposed amendment is limited in scope and does not otherwise alter the organization’s governance structure or operational authority.

The new teacher salary schedule reflects a 4.5% salary increase for certificated teaching staff in support of employee retention, market competitiveness, and continued investment in instructional excellence. 

The Board will consider a resolution authorizing a discretionary FY2025–26 retention bonus for eligible TEACH Academy employees. Although TEACH Academy is not projected to meet the enrollment and fiscal performance thresholds outlined in the original June 10, 2025 retention bonus resolution, the proposed action would authorize payment of the final 2.5% retention bonus installment in recognition of staff service, organizational stability, and retention priorities. The accompanying memorandum outlines the fiscal context, staffing considerations, and rationale supporting the recommendation, including the organization’s consolidated financial position and the Board’s previously established discretionary authority over bonus payments.

Background:
California’s accountability system requires school districts to report progress on the State Priority Areas identified in the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) must annually measure and report progress on the applicable Local Indicators through the California School Dashboard.

The Local Indicators address the following priority areas:

• Basic Services and Conditions (Priority 1)
• Implementation of State Academic Standards (Priority 2)
• Parent and Family Engagement (Priority 3)
• School Climate (Priority 6)
• Access to a Broad Course of Study (Priority 7)
• Coordination of Services for Expelled Youth (Priority 9, if applicable)
• Coordination of Services for Foster Youth (Priority 10, if applicable)

Staff completed the required self-reflection tools and reviewed local data, stakeholder input, and evidence of progress related to each indicator. The results indicate that the District has met the standards for performance as defined by the California Department of Education.

The completed Local Indicators will be submitted as part of the TEACH's annual accountability reporting requirements and reflected on the California School Dashboard.

The Board will review the Executive Director End-of-Year OKR Report for FY 2025–26, summarizing progress toward the Board-approved organizational objectives and key results established for the fiscal year. The report provides an overview of major accomplishments, operational and financial outcomes, renewal and compliance activities, organizational restructuring efforts, and implementation of strategic initiatives across TEACH Inc. and its managed schools. The report is also intended to provide context for upcoming FY 2026–27 planning discussions, including future organizational priorities and proposed Executive Director OKRs for the next fiscal year
