The first key date to put into your calendar is 12:00 p.m. Friday, May 4, 2012, the deadline to submit questions which will be answered by the District staff and attorney. You must submit your questions on the form below. Answers to the questions will be presented at the May 10th board meeting.
Keep in mind that the best approach for writing your questions are to frame them in terms of one of the 5 categories by which the District may vote to deny the petition. I will be addressing these 5 categories in coming posts.
Anyone who has questions and concerns about turning LWIP into a charter school should attend the May 10th and June 12th meetings so that the board can hear your concerns.
A petition against the charter school is also in the works and will be widely circulated in the coming days. Factsheets identifying problems with the charter petition will also be available soon.
