I got confirmation from Keirsten Cardwell that she would love to help us out. Tonight I read through some more of the charter school handbook tonight and updated the starting a charter school page. After reading through the handbook I think the plan should be to set the enrollment cap to be the number of K-8 grade kids in the Lowell School District. That way if each of them decided to enroll we would have room. Here are some of the things I learned.
- The proposal is essentially a description of how the proposed school will look once it’s open
- ORS 338.045 defines the minimum information required
- Information needed in the proposal
- This information has been moved to the Proposal page
- All students including students with disabilities, homeless students, and students with limited English proficiency who reside in Oregon are eligible for enrollment in the charter school.
- After the charter school has been open for a year, preference may be given to returning students and siblings of students already enrolled in the school.
- If the number of applications from students who reside within the school district exceeds the number of spaces available, the charter school must conduct a lottery to enroll students in an equitable process.
- If space is available, a charter school may admit students from out of district.
- The estimated charter school rate for the Lowell School District is $6,056 per student
