WESTLAKE ACADEMY CHARTER
INTRODUCTION
In 2003, the Town of Westlake was granted an open-enrollment charter(the "Charter") by the
Texas Education Agency ("TEA") to operate Westlake Academy Charter School, a Texas
public school. Subsequently, the Town of Westlake's open-enrollment charter was renewed
by TEA in 2007 and again in 2016 for a ten-year term.
School operations are governed by applicable federal and state law, rules adopted by the
Texas Commissioner of Education for open-enrollment charter schools, local policies
adopted by the charter holder, and the Charter contract. The contract between the Town of
Westlake, as the Charter Holder, and TEA recognizes that the terms of the Charter are
comprised from numerous sources that accumulate over time and include the following: the
original Charter contract and subsequent renewals; applicable law or Administrative rule in
effect, amended, enacted, or adopted during the term of the contract; the original Charter
Application and subsequent renewal applications; any condition, amendment, modification,
revision, or other change to the Charter adopted or ratified by the authorizing entity, including
revisions based on contingency responses; and all statements, assurances, commitments,
and representations by the Charter Holder in the original Charter Application and Renewal
Application, attachments or related documents, to the extent consistent with the other
aforementioned terms.
There is no single document that exclusively describes the requirements for the operation of
Westlake Academy Charter School. The following documents represent a historical collection
of information submitted, revised, amended andlor approved by TEA for the operation of
Westlake Academy Charter School. To the extent these documents include inconsistent or
differing information, the most recent adopted andlor approved document controls. Over
time, earlier documents or provisions may be superseded by amendments required or
approved by TEA. Local policy, procedures and operations must be consistent with the most
current Charter terms approved by TEA.
Therefore, the information contained in the Charter document should not be taken out of
context or reviewed as the sole source of direction from or authority granted by TEA to the
Town of Westlake (as the Charter holder). Information may have changed or been updated as
a result of each renewal, as the laws are amended through the legislative process, and new
directives are given to Charter schools from the Texas Education Agency.

The judgment faund as a matter of law and fact tt�at the Town had
• bee�duly and validly incorpor�ted in 1956.
Abou# 1992, the trusfee of the Bankruptcy E�fate Qf IVe[san Bunker
Hunt sued the Town aileging Ganspirac�r by the Town, its mapvr
and its aEdermen tca deny his �Ueged right t4 obtain zoning changes
to his liking. The Town, the mayar and thE aldermen won all
aspects c�f th� lawsuit except for minar relief granted to the trusfee.
In 1997, Ross Perot, Jr.'s Hillwood Develapment CQmpany initiated
a scheme to dismantle tt�e `town. Several lawsuits invo(ving the
Tawn, its mayor, its aldermen, its offcers and several resid�nts
ensued in which, depe�nding on the farm; #hese parties �ecame
plaintiff, defendant or crass plaintiffs. All af the lawsuits were
res�lved ar setfied ir� favor af the Town, its m�y�r, fihe aldermen,
the Tawn's officers and the residents. The Eitigatipn culminated in a
iandmark 9-Q decision 6y the T�xas Supreme Court u�aholding the
Tawn's position.
As a town, Westlake is rautittely invalved in litrgation of civil matters

B. Explain why the charter s�chc�o! mc�deE is th� ap�ropriate vehicle t�►
addr�ss this n�ed.
T`he primary reason why th� charter �choal mod�l is �he ��pre�riate
ve�icl�: ta address this ne�d is t� ensur� that ali young pee�ple, regardless
of their soaiaecanomic background, have the oppor�unity to participate.
While there are severa[ private schoats in the area, the tuition causes the
schools ta be cost prohibited to many families.
Accc�rding to local parents, the prc�biems fac�d by farnilies wha desire a
rigorc�us, intema#iona( language curriculurn are deep and the academic
gap is wide< Afthc►ugh there are many, many excellenf t�acher^�, they afe
so pulled to address al! the needs of the vari�d instruetional levels found in
the classrooms of inclusians. Students and parents are fearful that
studer�ts are at great risk for not reaching their true potentia{s--they are
lost in the cracks crf today's educational system.
A�celerated academic educatian indeed faces a c�uiet crisis as educatianal
refc�rm mavemer�ts focus on cosrnetic adminis�ra�tive chan�e rather than
t�achers, students and the material to �e iearned. Pare�ts ean join

arder for ea�h stt�d�nt ta reach his/her maximurt�t potential, i
Westtake Academy's education pian is mor�than the assirnilatian af facts.
Praficiene�r in a discipline rneans that an individ�al bec�xm�s a capable
practitianer and has� a suffic�ient foundat9on ta pursue advanceci study. The
curriculum defines the knnwledc�e, skills, and achiev�ment levels
commensurate with proficiency. Th� traditional core eurriculum areas —
fanguage arts, math, science, and social studies — remain strongly
emphasized, The curricu(urn wil! f�e augrr�ented with music, theatre, art,
pl�y�sical educatian, envi�anmental education, and foreign languages.
West�ake Academy's emphasis c�n academlcs is balanced by an equal
emphasis on creativitl,�. It is not enaugh in a democracy for peaple to
sirnplY inquire. It is� also necessary tQ fake the fruits of Qne's inquiry and
rnake some#hing of them. A schoal that prafesses to address the �eeds of
its students must �nable children tt� �xpress tF�e American tradition of
exp�eriment and invention. The curriculum wifl be structured ta link inquiry
with inventiarr and creativity, whether i�€s painti�tg, sculpture, photographs,
compasitians, th�atre, spealcing, etG. One of fhe tenants af Westlake
Academy is that the stctdent`s abiliiy tc► do science and ma#hernatics i�
irnproved when they are encQurag�d to develop their artistic sides,
E:S�?GCic�Il�l if they do sa in ways that link back to thetr science and
mathematic studies.
Westtake l�cademy's curricul�rri is desi�e�ad as a comprehensiue pragr�m
that allows its graduates to fulfill requiremen#s of vari�us national s�st�rns
of education. Et �r�vid�s the inteilectual, s4�ia1, and attitud�r�al perspectiue
necessary for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead of them in a
contemporary, internationaf society.
While insisting upon a tharaugh study of the vari�us disciplinesa the
int�rrelatedness of th� c�urses wiH be accentuated. 8y emphasizing the
dy�narnic �ambinatian of knawiedge skills, experienee �nd Gritical thinking,
academic achievemenl, coupled with active and responsible citizenship, is
pramQted.
An aGcelerated, intemational curriculum and e�ctensive parental
involvsment wiil create a leaming �nuironm�nt that will be conduci�e and
compatible to each �tudent overcomin� any and all abstacE�s in their
educational joum�y that might pia�e the realization of achi�ving their fuil
educatiQnal pot�ntial at risk.
Darling-Hammand (1996) noted fhat t�aching and education have suff�r�d
fram decades of neglect. A lack of standards and sc�aols organized be�ter

cuRent knawledge abaut teachine� and learning only �f schools and schoaCs

sincere effart t� redesign �rogram. Gritically needed effc�rts are being
irnp(ernented with the schaa!conte�ct ta meet thas�chalienges.
Westlake Academy is dedicated to leaving no stud�nt behind.
C. Discuss the educafiar�af innovations� that wilt distinguish tt�is sc�Qa[
f�om other scht�al�.
The curriculum is designed as a c�mp�ehensive program that allcaws its
graduates to fuifil! requirements of various natic�nal systems of educatic�n.
(BO is taased on the pattern af na singfe country. It pravides students of
different linguistic cultures, and edu�atl�na! backgrounds with th�
inte(lectual sacial and attitudina! perspectives necessary for the
challenged and appartunities that li� ahe�d of t�em in a contemporary,
intemational society. The Middle S�hoal curriculum has the same
commitm�nt and rigor t� a holistic view of knowiedge that is faund
thrQughout the w�rld in the highly su�cessful high school prcagram. The
success of th� high sctroQl prograrn has �ieen demanstrated at
�pproximately 20� schools in the United Sta#es and aver ��fl s�nools
thraughQut the enrorld, ninety pe�c�nt c►f which are public schocal.
Th� IB curriculum sfresses rigorau� academic study and the equall�
�rnportant develapment of life slcills, disciplin�s and � sec�se c�f socia!
responsib�lity. The intent is that �tudents shou{d learn haw ta fearn, how
to analyze, how to reach consiciered canGlusion about p�ople, their
farrguag� and literature, their ways in society, and the sc�entifc farces af
the e�viranrr7�nt. At the beginning af each new caurse vr topic nf sfiudy,
students will be giv�n cleac �lass/course eabjectives and th� methQds by .
which they wiil be accessed. 'The !B program is a d�Eiber�te compromis�
be�lween the preference far specialization in same cauntries and the
�mphasis on breadth aften preferred in a�hers.
Th� educatianal aim of the Internationai Baccalaureate flrg�nizatic�n is #a
awaken the ir�telligence af stud�nt and teaGh them to relate the conten# caf
the classroc�m to the realities af the world outside. By emphasizing the
dynarnic combinatian af knawledge, skifts, �xperience and critical th�r�king,
the IBfJ promt�tes academic aehievem�nt, coupfed with active and
responsible citizenship. 7he prt�rarn addresses the challenge af
educating the uvhol� person in preparation for I'rFe, engendering respecf for
�L�ti6 �

�
the physical life af the body and delight in the life of the rnind as it engage� I
the warld in a#I its fuilness�nd campkexity, j
This pragrarn affers an approach to #eaching and learning tt�at ernb�aces '
yet transcends the faGus vf traditional schvol subjeets. VVhile insisting
upon tharaugh study of the various disciplines, the program aeGentuat�:s
the interrelatedness af them and �Q adva�tces a holistic view of
knawledc�e. This interdis�iplinary perspective asks the stud�nt to consider
tSSUG'8�t1G� �CO�?I@CYt5 1�1 th�'IC Wlt�@ SGQ�?h', and to realize that goad sr�futians
c�ften d�aw upan insights on� ha� acquired fram many saurces. Put
anather way, the program shuns the fragrnentat�on of kne�r�+�ledg� #hat sa
aften res�lts when students r�vve frorn bi�log�r to history ta mathematics
ta technology as if the class�s had nathing to do with each a#her.
Tha educatian of the "whole persen"takes on a special signifcance as we
prc�ceed into the twenty-first century; when knowledge ac�ntinues to
expand dramaticaQy; when advanced technalagies and gtabal econc�mics
have tied togather vastly different eultures; when the warld is bound tt�o
efosely far prc�vincial ideologies to guid� political thought; when to exist in
a world community requires appreciati�an and understanding of cultural
cliversity; ar�d wh�n cooper�iion alorce wifl salve glabal �rcrbtems. It is
essential that academic fr�ining �ravides studenfs with the values and
apportunities tt�a# enable them to succeed in the r,camp�trtive, moderrt
inrarld.
Vllestl�k�Rcademy�wil! u�ilize the campus and its f�cilities to c�ff�r summer
ae�demic carnps �o area children, lNestlake �kcadem�r stud�nt�, as well as
t�os� students ir� surrounding public schools. Th� summer acad�mic
�amps will fo�us heavily on the languages ta pr�vide a continuum Qf
language irnmersion. Schola�ships will be availat�le, with naminatic�ns for
such schalarships comin� from area ISD Su�erintendents.
AdditionaEly, ar+ aptiar�a! semester study abraad program will be available
far students. This fac�t of the hi�h school pragrarn wauld be inc�rparated
inta the IB4 pragram to a11aw the student the ben�f�t af tata! emersion in
thei�secand langua�e and culture. Funds for#his activity wilf b� raised by
the sfudents during their high schaoi �rears artc{ placed in inferest-bearing
�ecoun#s; h�wever, schalarship and financial aid wilt be avaikat�le ta
ensure that na student is d�nied oppoetunity nor left behind.
Finally. in an effort to pravide a hoiistic approach betwe�n carnmunity and
schoat, the Tawn of Westlake will form alliances with sister Gities
thrc�ugh�ut Europe. Beginn�ng with yaung p�n pals, ta collaborat�ve
resear�h via the Internet, to an extensive ex�hange program, the fabric fc�r
strong strategic intemationa! allianee�s will ��woven.

Nortllwest ISD does not support the grantin�of a Charter to the �Vestlake Academy.The W'estlake
Academy will have a si�nificai�t negative impact on the Northwest Independent School Uistrict. The
impact includes, but is not limited to, an impact on the financial resources, fiscal stability, bond ratings,
contraetual obli�ations, infrastructure, program desian, accurate forecastin�, and estimatin6 for all
plan��ed activities of the Northwest ISD. � y
Northwest iSD is committed to becomintr one of the top school districts in the state.The To�vn of
Westlake is located in thz�ee schoal districts,Northwest ISD,Carroll [SD, and Keiler ISD:Currently,there
are no students who live in Westlake evho are attendin�Noi-�hwest ISD schools, and only t�venty-si�
. students �vho are attending Keller ISD schools and three tivho are attending Carroll ISD schools. The
Town of_Westlake does not have a student population to support a Charter School in its communiry.
Westlake Academy has the potential of diverting a number of Northwest ISD's quality students due to its
proximiry to the Town of Trophy Club,tlle laraest community in the Northwest ISD and the (ocation of
ttivo Northwest ISD TEA EYemplary and t�vo RecoQnized schoofs.
Northwest ISD reached Chapter 41 stattis in 2000 and passed a�182 million bond election in February
2001.The loss of students will have a definite impact on the district's financiat resources, pragram
desi�n, and accurate enro(lment forecasting. Since Northwest ISD is a Chapter 4 i district,the loss of
students will reduce the distcict's Weigt3ted Averaae Daily Attendance(WADA).The district's recapture
pa}�ment�vill atso increase as a result of the loss in WADA. Financia3ly, the district will lose a portion of
the available school fund. If one-third of the projected 400-student enrollment for Westlake Academy is
from Northwest 1SD,the district wil( pay$684,300 in Kecapture Tax and will lose$32,984 from the
Available School Fwid.The district has the potentiaf uf losing$6.� million in operatin�funds over the
ne�t�ve years(See attachment A-1).
As enrollment i7�creases for the Westlake Academy,North�vest ISD, a rapidly�ro�ving Chapter 41
district,will be foreed to evaluate a variety of budget scenarios,all of tivhich may restllt in the reductioil
af teaching positions, staff, programs and essential services to its students. This�vill adversely affect the
district's goal to provide a quality education pro�ram.
In Westlake Academy's application, it implies that there is a need for a school that offers a rigorous
cur►-iculu�il. The North�vest ISD Board�f Trustees�`vision is for the NISD to become a top scho�l district
in the state. Based upon TEA evaluative data,student performance, staff evaluation,and community
input, the district is well underway to achievin�this goal. North���est ISD offers a rigorous curric�ilum
�vith siYteen (16)Advanced Placement courses, Pre-AP courses,advanced technoio�y and college
concurrent credit courses. Northtivest ISD is committed to offerinb its students a quality and chalienging
educational prob am. Losing any of the district's top students would be e�tremety detrimental. The
district emphasizes that there is not a necessity to create a Charter Sclaool iil this area. In supp�rt of its
position, the district requests the State Board of Education to note the opposition submitted by CarrolI
ISD and Kelier [SD,the other affected districts by the Westiake Academy application.Therefore,the
North�vest Independent School Qistrict rec�uests the open enrollment charter school application for
Westlake Academy be denied.

RE: Five-Year Financial Forecast- Charter School Impact
� The Pive-1'ear Financial Forecast reflects the potential impact opening a charter school
would have upon the District. This fc�recast is based an one-third of the projected 400
student el�rollment for Westlake Academy is fromNorthwest ISD the first year. A
projected lass of 267 students from Northwest ISB is estimated for each year thereafter.
�h�s�te�-Schoo�Img�acte
T'he Revenue Prajection Summary projects a potential$6.5 million loss in operating
funds aver the nea�t five years. �
The Available School Fund is set on an annual basis by the State Board of Educafion
(SBOE). This amount is not subject to Chapter 41 recapture, At the Septernber, 2000,
rneeting the SBOE set the 2000 -2001 rate at$248 per capita. This current rate was
carried farward in the projection.

To whom it may concern:
Please give your utmost consideration to the Tawn of Westlake's application for a charter school.
E1s a strong supporter of charter schools, I am encouraged by preliminary plans for the Westlake
Academy, a proposed multi-aged, seif-paced learning institution with a particular facus on
international business and foreign language. Students interested in pursuing this career path
would have a unique opportunity to gain experience through relationships the town has forged
with intemational corporations located in and around Westlake.
This charter request is unique in that the applicant is a municipality. In my view this would be
desirable arrangement because municipalities are already subjeet to public acc�untability and
have access to reliable financial support.Alsa�coristruction and maintenance costs could be
shared between the schoal and the town.
Alliance Corridor would be a wonderful home to a charter school. I hope you wiil strongiy
consider the Town of ti�lestlake's application.
Ve truly yours,
Sen or Jane Nelson

Sasbject: Charter Application for Westlake Academy
Auditors reviewed the Application for an Open-Enrollment Charter Schoal for Westlake Academy and
noted the following:
Statement describin�sponsorin�;entity,pa�e 12
^ 1. The applicant stated "As a governmental entity, the Town of Westlake found that it was in the
public interest that a non-profit corporation,the'T�Jestlak�_A.eademy�or�ora�zo�;be created u�Ider
the Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act to act on behalf of the Town as it duly constituted authority
and instrunnentality, within ehe meaning of the Internal Revenue Cade of 1986, as amended, for
tlle purpose of providing educational services and facilities." However, the applicant identified
the sponsoring entity as the Town of VJestlake, Texas on the coversheet. The applicant should
clearly identify the entity that applied for the charter?
Student attendance(excused and unexcused absences),paQe 43
2. For official attendance accounting and Foundation School Program (FSP} funding purpases,
auditors will use the requirements discussed in the Student Attendance Accountin�Handbook and
other applicable state and federal regulations to determine if a student was present or absent and,
consequently, if ehe charter school was entitled to FSP funds.

VVESTLAKE�EIAR'TER SCI-IOOL '
�vidence of�oatprofit Status: N/A. The charter holder will be the Town of Westlake. '
Governmental entities are eligible to hold charters pursuant to TEC § 12.101(a}(4). ,
Westlake has established a nonprofit corporation to act on its behalf in estabtishin� and '
operating the Westlake Academy (Resotutions, Attachment 1). The exemption of th'rs
corporation from federal incame tax is a separate question,� but whether it is exempt or
not, the State Board of Educatian still has statutory authority under the Education Code to
grant a charter to the Town of Westlake.
From TEA's standpoint, the nonprofiC corporation will occupy basically the
position of a school management board, with ultiznate accountability for compliance with
the charter resting with the Town of Westlake. The resolutions provide that n�bonds or
obligations of the nonprofit corporation constitute obligations of the Town of Westlake
(Attachment 1). If the corporation has authority under the Texas Non-Protit Corporation
Act to issue revenue bonds that by their terms are payable onXy from revenues a['the
school, and that do not otherwise bind the Town of Westlake, the exercise of that
authority presents no problem for TEA. However, the applicant should recognize that
nothing in the Resolutions.wilI keep the charter holder (Town of Westlake) frozn being
obligated for ordinary debts of its charter school. The cantract for charter, which will
need to be signed by the Mayor on behalf af the Town of Westlake and not just by the
board chair and CEO of the Westlake Academy Corparation, provides in part:
"Charterholder may not delegate, assign, subcontract or otherwise alienate any of its
rights or responsibilities under the charter." Therefore,for example:
� If an attendance audit reveals that Foundation Schoal Program(FSP} funds
have been ovezpaid to the school, and TEA needs to reclaim funds, the
amount of the overpayment will be an obl'zgation of the Town of Westlake;
➢ When the school contracts for educational materials or services, those debts
, will be obligations of the Town of Westlake;
r If the school fails ta make the proper contributions to the Teacher Retirement
System(TRS) for its employees, and TRS places a warrant hold on payments
of state money to the charter holder, that warrant hald would include any
amounts payable to the Town of Westlake, including FSP funds paid by TEA.
The Town of Westlake will tie�the payee for FSP funds from TEA.
Public I\Iotaeea OK(Attachments 7-9, 11-12).
Facilit�es: The exact location and nature of the proposed facilities are not described.
The application says that facilities will be"innovatively cross-utilized"between the
Westlake Academy and the Town of Westlake(p. 48). Does this mean that existing
� As an instrurnentality of the Town of Westlake,the corporation should be cxempt from federal taxation
under I.R.C. § t 15 as Iong as it is serving an"essential governmental function." See, e.g., Rev. Rul.77-
261;PLR 2U0022028.

municipal facilities will be nnade available to the school, or does it mean that school I
facilities constructed with state funds will be used more generally for municipal �
purposes? Note that newiy enacted TEC § 12.128 provides that property purchased or ,
leased with state funds "may be used only for a purpose for which a school district may '
use school district property." The reason for raising the questzon is that although the , '
application says that"[t]he Town of Westlake's resolution to provide space and facilities
for Westlake Academy is in Attachment 24" (p. 48), in fact Attachment 24 authorizes the
creation of a nonprofit corporation to issue revenue bonds that will help provide
educational facilities "and facilities related thereto," but specifies that no such bonds or
obiigations will be obligations of the Town of Westlake.
Geog�-ap�ic �oundaries: OK(p. 51 & Attachment 27).
�mpac�St�ternent< OK (pp. 51-52 & Attachment 28).
Adrrussionse The application describes a first-come, first-served system (pp. 86-87).
Instead, to be consistent with federal guidelines and the charter contract, the school
should designate an application period, and at the end of that period canduct a lottery of
all applicants in any grade level for which applieations exceed available space. Siblings
of Westlake Academy students may be exeznpted from the lottery according to federal
guidelines.
Gover�xar�ce Structure> (pp. 15-19, 89-91 &Attachrnents 2-3). We received 6ylaws but
not articles of incorporation for the Westlake Acadenny Corporation. Also, the
application on pages 18-19 describes ehe officer positions of the Westiake Academy
� Corporation but does not answer the other application prompts concerning the
-- corporation's board of directors (the manner in which they are selected and removed
from office, how vacancies on the board are filled, ete.). The bylaws included as
Attachment 3 answer these questions to some extent.

Dear Ms.Baktr
Thank you fo�the time you have sgent ravicwing the Westlake Academy Charter School application. I
appreciate your paaence and diligence as we seek to aas�ver all the questions and cocrect any ecrors or
oversights s�iil existing in our applieation. I am giad io pcovide the follo�ing rosponse concerning the
issues discussed in your tetter and more specifically in our telephone con�ersation.
In order to atcempt to cl�rify the oeustanding issues,I am refetsing direcdy co a Texas Educatian Aeeacy,
Di�zsion of Srhool Financiat Audits Memorandum sen�to Mary Petry,V[anaser of the Division of Charter
Schools by Itamoa Medina,Senior Audit Manager,Chaner School Audits Section on lunr 9,2001. The
memorandum noted the fotlowing under su�heading Satement Descn'bin� oons rin�t&�litv.�age 12:
1. The applicant stated"As a goveroment entity,Tha Tawn of�Vesdake found that it w�as in
the public interest that a non-profit corporadon,'fhe Westlake Academy Corporation,bc crsated
under che Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act to act on behalf of the Town ss its dufy consatuted
authority and insrtumentality,within the cneaaing of ttu Interaal Revaaue Cude of 1986,as
amended,for the putpose oPproviding edueational services and facilitits." However,the appticant
idcntified the sponsoring entiry as thc Town of Wcstlake,Texas on the coti•ersheet.'T'he applicant
should clearly idon�ify the eaticy ehat apptied for the chacter"
AN5WER
The spansoting eudty for the chaner schoot application u The Towa of VJestiake. The idea,the
vision,the plsnning and implementacion of the Westlakc Acadcmy are alI d'uecc resulrs of Ihc
Board of Alderman of the Town of Wesdake directing the sraff to hice�he consulants,retain the
lawyers and submit the application for d�e Westlake Academy. Sauctucally,the Town received
input fcom lcgal staff,our consultants and T�A concezning che creatioA of the non-proft
corporation to aperate and manage the schaol.This entity is thc Westlake Academy Cocporation
(see application Section I,part G,p.12),which was created as an is�suvmeatality of the Tawv of
Wrs�alca As the resoluaon indicates,the Town maiauains 100%responsbility,owne�ship aad
convol of slic Westtake Academy through its insaumentaliry,the Wesclake Academy Corporatian.
Acrordingly,Tb�We�dakt�gad,,,e ,my_Cor�oration muat he�he ch�ner neld r.
lt is the Tou7i s intent to issue de6t,build,own and opncace rhe jacilities wlnch house tbe
Westlake Academy, The Town of Wesclake will then Iease that portion of thc facilities used by
the school to the WtsQake Academy Corporation o0 opernte the school in accordance with the
application.We belie��e this arrangement rr�kes the best use of tax nvenues by iocusing them on
tcaching,curriculum and opec�tion rather than dabt service.
The Wesdake Academy Corpomdon,like any non-profic corporation created undcr Chapter 12,
Subchapter p of the Edueation Cade,is authotized to issue debt. Wiaile it i�not contemplated
3 Village Circle • Suite 207 Solana•Westlake,Texas 76262
Metro:81?'-430-0941 • Fax:817-430-1812 • www.westlake-tx.org
Conungencies
that the Ca�soratioa will ever have to issuc debt,�he fact remains that if it did,then tke .�
Corgocation would be responsible for issuing aad supporting that debt,not the Town of Westlalce.
The sepacation of diese entities would not only be practically necessary for municipai financc '
pucposes but 1cgaUy�cessary for a Type A Gencral Law City.Therefore,as stated in the
application and cited in your]ctter,no Bonds or Oblig�tioms of rhe Corporation will constitute
obtigaaons of�he Town.
The Town of Westiake will jointly use tht Yrestlakc Academy facilities. All udministrntive
functions of tbe Town and the Acaderny wilt be housed under one roof in the facilities built by the
Tow�n of Westiake. The unified management and contro(of the scizool and che Town are one of
the uniquc feamres that wc believe wili lead to a rtto�e efficient and effecti��e organization

Evidence of vanprofit Status: K/A. The charter holder wiU be the Town of Wesclake.
Governmental entities are eligible to hold chacters pu�suant to T6C§ 12.101(a�(4).
West[ake has est�tblished a nonprofit corporation to act on its treh�clf in establishing and
operating the Westlake Academy(Resolutions,Auachment I}. The exernption of chis
coiporation from federa) income tax is a sepurute question,� but whether i[is exempt or
not,the Siate Board of Education still has statutory authority under the Education Code ta
grant a charter to the Town of Wes[lake.
From?EA's standpoint, the nongro�t corpor�tion wilt occupy basically the
position of a school managernent board,with ulcimate accauntability for compliance with
the charter resting with the Town of Westlalce. The resolutions arovide that no bonds or
obliaations of the nonprofit co ration c nstitute lia ' e�
Attac ment . t e carporatian has authority under the Texas Non-Profit Corporation
Act taissue revenue bonds that by their terms are payable onfy from revenues of the
school,and thaz do not ocherwise bind che Town of Westlake,the exereise of that
authority presents no problem far TEA. Hawever,the appSicant should recognize that
nothing in the Resolutions wili keep the charier holder(Tawn of Westlake)from beinb
obli�ated For ocdinary debts vf its charter schoot. The contract for charter,which will
need to be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the Town of West)ake and not just by the
board chnir�nd CEO oF the WestlaEce Academy Corporation.provides in part:
"Chanerholder may nat delegate,assion, subcontract or otherwise alienate any of its
rights or responsibilities under the charter." Therefore,for example:
i If an attendance audit raveals that Foundacion Schoo! Prograin(FS'P)funds
have been overpaid to the school,and TEA needs to reclaim funds,the
amount of the overpayment wilI be an obligation of the Town vf Westtaice;
r When the school contracts far educational materiuls or services,those debts
wiil he obligations of the Town of Westiake;
> If the schoal fails to make the proper contributions co the Teacher Retirement
System{TR5)for its employees,and TRS places a warrant hold on payments
of state money ta the charcer ho[der,that warrant hold would inc{ude any
amounts payabte to the Towr of Westlake,inciuding FSP funds paid by TEA.
The Town of Westlake wilt be the payee for F5P funds from TEA.

municipal facilities will be made avaitable to the schooi,or does it mean that school
farilicies coastn�cted with state funds wil) be used mor�generatly t'or municipal
purgoses? Note chat newly enacted TEC§ 12.128 provides that groperty purchased or
leused with state funds"mAy be used only for a putpose for which a school district may
use schoal district property." The reason for raising the question is that although the
appiication says chat"[t]he Town of�Vestlake's resolution to provide space and facilities
for Westlake Academy is in Attachment 24"(p.48),in fact Attachment 24 authorizes the
creatian of a nonprofit corparation to issue revenue bonds that wifl heip provide
educational facilities"and facilities related thereto,"but specifies that no such bands or
obli�ations_wilt be obli�ations of the Town of Westtake.
..
Geographic Boundaries: dK(p. 51 & Atcuchment 27).
Impact Statement: OK(pp.S 1-52&Actachment 28).
Admissions: The applica�ion describes a firs[-come,fin;c-served system(pp.88-87).
Instead,co be consistent wich fede�al guidelines and the charter contract,the school
should designate an application period,and at the end of lhat�eriod conduct a lottery of
a[l applicants in any orade level for which applications exceed available space. Siblings
of Westlake Academy students may he exempted from the lottery according to federai
guicfelines.
Governance StrucEure: (pp. 1 S-I9,89-91 &Actachments 2-3). V4'e reeeived bylaws hut
not articles of incorgoration for Ehe Westlake Academy Corporation. Also,the
applicatinn on pages 18-l9 describes the o�cer positions of the Westiake Academy
Cor�oration but does not answer the other apptication prompts concerning the
corporation's board of directors(the manner in which they are selected and remaved
from office,how vacancies on the board are�lled,etc.). The bylaws included as
Attachment 3 answer these questions to so�ne extent.

This schedule must be completed as part of the grant application.
1. Specifically, how will the grant funds be used to pian, design, and implement the charter schooi?
The Westlake Academy has selected to follow programs of instruction defined by the International Bacca(aureate(hganization(IBO). 7�he Primary
Years Progamme(PYP),Middle Years Progam(MYP)and the Diploma Years Programme(DYP)provide a philosophical framework for instruction,
yet leave speciYic scope and sequence decisions to ihe local educators. Westlal:e Academy will open fall 2003 grades 1-6 imp(ementing the Primary
Yeazs Program. Every et�ort will be marle to hire teachers with PYP experience,but as this program is relatively new,we anticipate many teachers will
require appropriate training to become f'amiliar�vith this model.
Funds received from this grant will provide(PayrolQ for advertising open positions[3E.07J,planning and program design by a Cadre of carefiillv
selected teachers[3B.01]during the months preceding opening of Westlake Academy,fall 2003. Planning and design efTort is instrumental to
successful impfementation ofthe PYP in the classroom and the eventual success measured by the TAKS later in the school year. The Secretary[3B.02J
will assemble informational materials for the program to be professionally printed for distrihu[ion[3C.06].
The PYP model also relies on every teacher's involvement as part of grade-leve(teams involved in unit and lesson planning for the school year. Funds
from this gant will provide certified tB0 PYP staffdevelopment(contracted service[3C.02.A1,and travel to workshons)to insure that the Westlake
Academy can properly implement the PYP model,and to satisfy certitication requirements of the]BO. Where staff must attend workshops on non-
contract days.extra-dutv oav[3b.09]wilt be paid
Westlake is committed to implementing a program where educational technology is infused in the learning pracess. Funds from this�ant wil]provide
design assistance(ESC X[and/or Qrofessional services)in refining the technolo�y im�lementation plan[3C.02.B],and will provide end-user staff
development in the proper implementation of selected technologies.
In addition to the educationat program,gant monies have been budgeted for contracted services to help plan and desip.r�operationat maiel for the
business office and Financial Accountabilitv Svstems[3C.01,02.C]. The Region XI�SC will provide the act�al computer software[3C.01�for the in-
house aecountability system and will also provide staff development to ensure successful accpwitability(PEIMS)reporting as the program is
implemented.
A budget has been established for any utilitv costs[3C.04](including long distance telephone charges and telecommunication services,and potentia(ly
water,electricity,and gas for grant activities conducted before school,after school,or duri�g the summer. A budget for supplies and materials[3D.01]
and classroom books/readin�materials[3D.02J has been established to allow the I{ead/Principal and teachers to se(ect additional tcaching resources to
augment textbWks provided by TEA,and significant classroom resources provided by loca!funds.
Computer workstations and a nehvork server[3D.04]will be necessary to implement Student Administration software at the Aeademy,and an overhead
proiector and LCD data vroiector �3D.05]will allow presentations in group planning meetings. A budget has becn cstablishcd to accommodate travel
for traininQ and vlannina, [3E.01),and membership in an international school organization[3e.02J.
2. Specifically, what impact will the charter school start-up grant have on the implementation and operation of
the charter school?
The Charter School Start-up Grant will have a very signific:ant impact on the implementaiion and operation of Westlake Academy as it will fund payroll
expenses,professional services,and key supplies and materials during the critical period of progrvn planning prior to the availability of State funding.
The Town of Westlake,the Charter Holder,is committed to the suc;c:ess of Westlake Academy and has secured appropriate local funds to support the
design,wnstruction of a purpose built facility and the initial FF&E for the Academy during 2002. While the Charter Holder will wntinue to contribute
local funds to the project to ensure success,funding from this grant will perrnit an extended planning,design,staff development and progra�n set-up
phase in the first half of 2003 and wil(allow local funds to Ue used for desired ent�ancements to the FF&E budget.

MEMO
TO: Board of Trustees, Westlake Academy
FROM: Barbara Brizuela, Head of School
DATE: January 7, 2008
SUBJECT: Meeting on January 14, 2008
I1 Ell�I:
Consider a resolution to approve an application for an expansion amendment to the
Westlake Academy Charter that would add additional geographic boundaries for transfer
students.
REC OI�MENl3A'I'I�I�iS:
Staff recommends approval.
�r�C'iCGR(3ITI\iD:
In revie�ving the TEA approved boundaries for students of Westlake Academy, the
schoal districts in which our students reside and in comparison t�other charter school's
approved boundaries the staff feels that it would be in our best interest to increase the
number of school districts from which the Academy can accept transfer students.
The approval of this Resolution will allow the Academy to apply for an expansion
amendment which would allow the school to accept transfer students for enrollment from
a wider expanse of locations. The approval of this amendment is in the best interest of
the Academy, its present and future students and staff inembers. This amendment would
allow a more diverse location for Academy and Town staff. In our research we
discavered that many charter schools include a great number of ISDs in Cheir transfer
boundaries, e.g. North Hills has over 60; Arlington over 40; Honors over 100. Our
present expansion would bri�lg Westlake Academy's total to 31.
School districts that would be requested for inclusion in the transfer student baur►daries
are: HER, Decatur, Paradise, Boyd, VVeatherford, Krum, Ponder, Denton, Little Eim,
Argyle, Frisco, Carrollton, Grand Prairie, Duncanville, Lake Dallas, Springtowrl, Azle,
Coppell, Irving, Arlington, Fort Worth, Eagle IVlountain-Saginaw, Highland Park,
Garland, McKinney. These are in addition Birdville, C�rroll, Grapevine-Colleyvrlle,
Keller, Lewisviile and Northwest which are already approved districts.
_ _ _ _
L1pon approvat of this Resolution, the school will submit a Charter Expansion '�
Amendmeni Applicatian to Che Texas Education Agency. The deadline for this �I
application is February ls`, �0��. ',

Dear Mrs. Wheat:
The Division of Charter School Administration is contacting you in regards to WESTLAKE
ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL charter contract renewal. The renewal of a charter is a matter

renewal term thereafter, charters are required to submit a renewal petition. Subsequent terms of
a charter renewal are for a period of ten years from the original renewal date. If approved, this
charter renewal will expire on July 31, 2026.
Texas Education Code (TEC} §12.1141 provides three distinct designations for the consideratian
of the renewal of a chai�ter. After the review of student performance data, financial performance
data, and other criteria relating to the operation of the charter, the agency shall assign the renewal
designatian of the charter to reflect one of the following: expedited consideration, discretionary
consideration, or mandatory expirafion of a charter.
