New Leadership Charter School - Waiver of 603 CMR 1.12(2)
| To: | Members of the Board of Education |
| From: | Jeffrey Nellhaus, Acting Commissioner of Education |
| Date: | September 20, 2007 |
Pursuant to 603 C.M.R. § 1.03(2), New Leadership Charter School (NLCS), a Horace Mann charter school, requests a waiver of the deadline for submission of its Renewal Application. Enclosed is a copy of this request. I recommend that the Board grant this waiver.
At 603 C.M.R. § 1.12(1), the Charter School Regulations state that every charter school desiring renewal "shall submit its application for renewal . . . no later than August 1 after the end of fourth school year." While NLCS submitted a renewal application on August 1st, its application was incomplete because it did not include the approval of the school committee and the local teachers' union, as required by 603 C.M.R. § 1.12(2) ("Applications for the renewal of Horace Mann charters must be submitted with the approval of the local teachers' union and the local school committee."). On September 10, 2007, the Department received the requisite signatures and, as of that date, NLCS's application became complete.
If you have any questions regarding this waiver request or require additional information, please contact Mary Street, Director of Charter Schools, or me.
