Byron Ricks Danny Wegman Name of Application Prepirer (Typed) .. h Siahaftrc of Applicatio1n& Preparer SAS 533-11 RFA 701-10-118 APPROVED DURING CONTINGENCY PROCESS Statement of Need • PP.5-14: Explain why Irving ISO and Garland ISO are considered as possible campus locations when the needs of these districts are not included in the Statement of need. Irving ISO and Garland ISO were considered as possible campus locations at the time of the writing of this application. They are no longer being considered. Instead, the Richardson ISO location that became available after the submission of this charter application was accepted by the Board during the Oct. 4,2011 meeting. The lease was also accepted and voted upon by the Board during the Oct. 25th meeting. Richardson became a viable location based on the following: There is a need to solve present and future issues surrounding the education of Richardson Independent School District students. The needs include, but are not limited to, the average to below performance standards reported in the 2010 Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report, college readiness statistics, commended performance percentages, at-risk and economically disadvantaged statistics, teen pregnancy and drug issues that are hindering those students from academic success. Students in high poverty urban schools often drop out because of lack of academic success. These percentages further provide insight into the immediate need for intervention for students that are "At Risk". Legacy Preparatory is committed to providing equal opportunity academic ACCESS and SUCCESS for ALL STUDENTS. A search of the Richardson ISO website does not show the opportunity for students to have K-12 Spanish with the addition of Chinese as a third language in 5th grade for those students who come up through the dual language Eng/Span Early Childhood setting. Legacy Prep Academies will offer this to its students. Although there are many private, tuition supported schools in the area, there is a price tag attached to attend. Legacy Prep will offer students and families an educational choice without having to worry about whether or not they can afford it Section 1: Statement of Need 1. Statement of Need (a) Discuss why members of the sponsoring entity believes that the proposed school is needed and why they believe that sufficient demand exists
