______
SUBJECT: Clear Passage Educational Center
______
CATEGORY: New Business Reason for Board Consideration: Action
Date: September 2, 2014 ______
APPROVE AMENDED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN LBUSD AND CLEAR PASSAGE EDUCATIONAL CENTER
BACKGROUND:
On April 15, 2014, the Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education approved a charter petition on behalf of the Clear Passage Educational Center (CPEC) for the establishment of a charter school. The term of operation, as stated in the approved item is April 16, 2014 through June 30, 2017, with student attendance beginning Fall 2014.
The Long Beach Unified School District was informed that the CPEC governing board requests a delay in enrolling and serving students at the charter school. In their request, CPEC cites that, in their estimation, the timing of the receipt of a state planning grant gives little time for implementing the necessary operational and recruitment activities associated with starting a school. Therefore, they request opening the school to students in the Fall of 2015 and use the 2014-15 school year as a planning year.
The non-student operations of Clear Passage Educational Center (i.e. Governance, Finance, Curriculum Planning) will continue.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the amended MOU by and between LBUSD and Clear Passage Educational Center and Clear Passage Foundation, Inc. The amended MOU’s main item permits the delay of enrollment and instructional services to students at the Clear Passage Educational Center until the Fall of 2015. The Board of Directors of the charter school approved the amended MOU on August 25, 2014. The term of the charter remains unchanged.

She was a member of many associations, including the American Library Association, the California Teachers Association and the National Education Association.
