The school had sought a 30-day extension, but county officials suggested school officials, re-apply to address “governance concerns,” Shapiro said.
Officials were planning to request a 30-day continuance to allow more time for county officials to discuss its petition for a K-6 charter school in the Santa Clarita Valley, according to the school’s website
Officials released the following statement on the school’s Facebook page:
Over the past week there have been continuous discussions with the LA County staff, County Supervisors and their staff, as well as staff from the California Charter School Association. With the success of AEA in opening campuses outside of LA County, all parties would like to make sure the governance of the Santa Clarita elementary school complies with County and state regulations. Many people have put in countless hours thus far, and based on thoughtful recommendations, AEA has agreed to continue the vote 30 days to allow for the success of our school. We will keep you up to date with further information as it becomes available.
