Message from Amy Held regarding a special Board Meeting March 19

Posted on by

Hi all,

I’m writing to let you know that a special board meeting has just been scheduled for tomorrow night to address two time sensitive items that came up since the last regular board meeting and must be acted upon before the next regular meeting. These are fairly routine applications to the state, which are described below, and the full agenda is attached.

On a parallel track, I know our school communities are engaged in active dialogue about the draft licensing agreement – this item is NOT on the agenda for tomorrow’s special board meeting and will come before the board at its next regular board meeting on Wednesday, April 3rd at 6pm at CWC Hollywood. There will be two more community meetings to discuss the draft agreement – one at CWCSL k/1 campus 1530 N. Wilton (enter off of Carlson Ave near St. Andrews – street parking) at the picnic tables and another at CWCH at 8:40am on Tuesday, April 2nd also at the picnic tables (enter off of Bronson Ave and Fernwood – street parking).

The time sensitive items coming to the board tomorrow all relate to addressing the cash flow challenges created by the state deferrals (delays in the state issuing funds to schools). The state recently released the application for the revolving fund for new charter schools. The revolving loan offers very low interest loans to new charters to help with cash flow challenges that often arise due to deferrals in the issuance of state funding. Many charters statewide avail themselves of this. The application is due three weeks after it was released and it requires board authorization. The second item is an application for exemption from the next round of state deferrals (to avoid further cash flow challenges).

This application was also just recently released and is due back before the next board meeting. The last item on the agenda is board action on a line of credit from PWB which is also a mechanism for cash flow purposes to assist with operating costs which is needed due to state delays in the issuance of funding. Please note that our schools and region have balanced budgets and these instruments are merely to help with the delayed timing of when revenues come in to the schools as a result of state deferrals. Please feel free to email me with any questions about anything.

Thanks!

Amy Held
