We are not certain how this will impact Ross Valley Charter, but it seems they were counting on $200,000 in grant funding from a source which has dried up.
Why did the Feds deny California's application to renew 5 years of funding for charter schools? According to this article by The Charter Schools Development Center,
"Grant readers dinged California’s application on multiple fronts, stating that it offered a weak “vision for authorizing” (the USDOE’s new criterion for state-driven chartering), a vague management plan and inadequate plans to target disadvantaged student populations."
Sounds similar to the RVSD's denial report on the Ross Valley Charter.
Sounds like more bad news for charter schools!
