WESTLAKE ACADEMY MEMO TO: Board of Trustees, Westlake Academy FROM: Barbara Brizuela, Head of School DATE: June 18, 2007 SUBJECT: June 25, 2007 ITEM: Consider a resolution authorizing the retention of current students who were accepted in the past but who reside outside the current secondary geographic boundary established by the original charter; and the retention of Robert A. Schulman of the law firm of Feldman and Rogers to represent the Academy in matters relating to the Education Code. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval. BACKGROUND: In April of 2007, the Board of Trustees of Westlake Academy approved a resolution expanding the Geographic Boundaries for Transfer Students. This resolution was used to accompany a request for a waiver for submitting a late amendment to our Charter. During the Charter renewal process, in February of 2007, it was discovered that ten Westlake Academy students who currently reside outside the secondary boundary of the school were inadvertently allowed to enroll in the school during the past four years. All of the students admitted were in towns or cities that are served by more than one ISD and the mistake could have been easily made. Once we had that information, the Academy self-reported it to the TEA Charter School Division. At first we were told that the students in question would have to leave the Academy immediately. When we said that that was not an option if we were to have the children's well- being and education as the focus, we were told that we could allow those students to finish the year but would not receive funding for them. We were also told that the only way to keep the students would be to make an expansion amendment to our Charter. But the February 1 deadline had been February l St already passed. We consulted with the Commissioner of Education, who suggested that we ask for a waiver; the waiver had to include the Board Resolution to include the expansion. This was forwarded to the Commissioner's office and some time later we were sent the official waiver forms, which was executed and returned. Unfortunately, the waiver ivas denied by a letter dated May 18tH The Head of School and the President of the Board of Trustees have consulted with Mr. Robert A. Schulman, Esq., of the firm of Feldman and Rogers, who .are education law specialists.
