If you haven't begun to plow through the charter petition yet I find it great reading. It seems that my fellow LWIP Administrative Council parents decided to set up a non-profit corporation and included the by laws in the charter petition. Note the listing of 6 members of the board of directors (all also members of the Administrative Council) whose terms run through October 1, 2013 and October 1, 2014 (pg. 133).
The funny thing is they apparently forgot to have an election and have just appointed themselves to these positions. According to their bylaws all members of the board of directors must be elected by the charter school Parent Council. As far as I know there was no election. We parents were never given a copy of these bylaws, no agenda issued, there was no discussion, and of course no vote.
The self-appointments continue, this time with far more at stake with nearly $1.8 million in public tax money to be given to the charter school in its first three year projected budget—if it gets approved. Before they learn how to spend that much money responsibly they appear to need some lessons in how to actually hold a vote.
