All Missouri students will graduate college and career ready.
SUMMARY:
The 1998 session of the Missouri General Assembly authorized establishment of charter
schools. Renewal charter applications are submitted every five years. Section 160.405.9, RSMo

Agency (LEA) in good standing with the sponsor. The charter LEA has requested that UMC
renew its charter for a term of five years beginning July 1, 2017, and ending June 30, 2022.
PRESENTERS:

Services, Office of Quality Schools, will assist in the presentation and discussion of this item.

Academy to continue operations pursuant to the charter renewal granted by the University of
Missouri-Columbia, effective July 1, 2017, for a five year period.

Dear Dr. Robertson:
As the sponsoring institution for KIPP Endeavor Academy (KEA), I write to request a fiveyear renewal of their charter. The accompanying packet provides a summary of KEA's current academic standing and their growth plan for the next five years.
KEA was the last KIPP organization without a regional office structure and that situation has changed in the last two years. Dr. William Olsen joined KIPP after a long and successful tenure at Noble Schools. Under his leadership, KEA has all new academic leaders, with fellows in place, training for the planned expansion. This last year represented a significant culture and curriculum reset, purchase of their current building home, and we are optimistic about their future success and expansion plans.
MU is proud to sponsor KEA and looks forward to working with them and monitoring their progress for another five year term. If I can provide further information necessary for review of their application, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Gerry Kettenbach Executive Director
