Charter-school proponents turn in answers to Unit 4 board's questionsFull article here.
Backers of a proposed charter school say they hope the 20-plus pages of documentation submitted Wednesday will provide the clarity Champaign school district officials said was missing during a contentious hearing earlier this month.
School board President Chris Kloeppel confirmed to The News-Gazette that the district received the addendum to North Champaign Academy’s application before the end of business Wednesday, the revised deadline Unit 4 set last week.
Among other things, the NCA packet includes a more detailed budget breakdown. It calls for the district to provide $11,876 to cover the cost of each student’s attendance — what’s known as per-capita tuition. With enrollment at the K-5 school now projected to be 128 students, that amounts to $1,520,128...
The next known key date in the process is 13 days away. At 5:30 p.m. May 2, the district will hold a special meeting to provide “a final written decision on approval or denial of the NCA’s February 26 proposal,” Zola informed NCA leaders in an email.
