State Charter School Board Amendment Request

1 Jefferson Academy

Charter Amendment Application August 2013

AMENDMENT REQUEST

Utah State Charter School Board

Charter schools are public schools governed by independent boards and held accountable to a legally binding written contractual agreement with their chartering entity. The Utah State Charter School Board (SCSB) is a statutory chartering entity charged with authorizing, monitoring, evaluating, and holding accountable charter schools to compliance with federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, and their contractual agreement. If a time comes when a charter school governing board requires a change to its charter, then the contractual agreement may be modified by mutual agreement of the chartering entity and the governing body of the school. Amendment requests, including all required attachments and supporting documentation, are due electronically no later than three weeks prior to the upcoming State Charter School Board meeting. A schedule of State Charter School Board meetings can be found at http://schools.utah.gov/charterschools/State-Charter-School-Board.aspx. Incomplete requests will not be considered. 1.

4. Requested amendment to charter (check all that apply). Provide requested details and supporting

documentation in Attachment 1. If the request requires a budget, use the same format as required AFR budget and include as Attachment 2.

✯ Waiver from Board Rule: R277-482-7.C http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r277/r277-482.htm

Rule R277-482-7.C requires the submission of an expansion request not requiring a new facility by "April 1 of the state fiscal year one state fiscal year prior to the intended expansion date."

The school requires a waiver from Rule R277-482-7.C because the school is requesting an expansion of 55 students, the expansion does not require a new facility, and the school did not submit the request by the deadline set forth in the rule. The school requires an additional 55 students in order to meet anticipated demand for its program in upcoming school years. The school previously added sections to lower grades in order to compensate for lesser enrollment in higher grades. Those classes are now entering higher grade levels, and enrollment has remained strong in the other grades. Because of this, the school anticipates that its total enrollment will exceed its current student cap and does not want to deny enrollment to

previously enrolled students or significantly reduce kindergarten enrollment in order to remain under the current cap.

_____ Change to Bylaws specific to number of board members or board member election /

appointment process. Include a redline version showing new additions and removed language in Bylaws.

✯ Expansion of student enrollment. Indicate the number of students in grade K, 1 – 6, 7 – 8,

and 9 – 12 being requested. Will this expansion of student enrollment require a new facility or a significant structural change to an existing facility (i.e., requires a USOE facility project number)? If so, provide a detailed facility plan. Also provide a copy of the projected budget for all years where student growth is planned.

Jefferson Academy (JA) is requesting an additional 55 students starting in the school year 2014-2015. Currently JA is approved for 780 students K-9. Since they were authorized to open in 2009-2010, JA has grown to capacity through slowly building its Jr. High while bubbling in some of the elementary grades. In 2012-2013, JA was at capacity of 780 students and they currently have 780 registered students for the school year 2013-2014. With the current grade configuration JA anticipates the need for 55 more students as to not have to run a lottery for any current students next year, only incoming kindergarten students. With no attrition the additional students will be necessary. JA has built strong community support and with the additional student numbers will meet the community demand and need. At this time the additional students would be accommodated in the current building structure or if necessary with the addition of one portable. The additional portable, if required, will be well below the required $100,000 for a USOE project number. JA owns the land on which the portable, if necessary, would be located.

_____ Postponement of opening year. Describe the reason for postponing the school’s opening

year. Provide a copy of the revised budget for the planning year and first three operational years. Include additional supporting documentation as necessary.

_____ Change to contractual agreement performance measures. Include a redline version

showing new additions and removed language in contractual agreement performance measures and provide supporting documentation for the requested change.

_____ Change to educational program or methods of instruction. Provide supporting

documentation of new, evidence-based choice, as well as anticipated improvement in student performance.

_____ Relocating to a new school district (operational school) or municipality (planning school).

Operational schools must provide evidence supporting the decision to move. Planning schools must provide a detailed market analysis of newly proposed location, including corresponding capital facility plan and revised budget for the planning year and first three operational years.

_____ Matriculation agreement. Describe the purpose for the matriculation agreement and provide a copy of the school’s proposed matriculation agreement signed by all participating charter school(s).

_____ Change name of school. Provide the school’s proposed new name and provide a statement of understanding of requirement to submit paperwork for and receive change of name with IRS.


3 Jefferson Academy


_____ Decrease grades served or student enrollment. Summarize the governing board’s discussion that led to the decision to reduce grade levels or number of students served.

_____ Acceleration of approved growth model, with no additional students. Briefly describe the

need for an acceleration of growth model approved for a future school year. _____ Change grade configuration, with no additional students. Provide evidence of the school’s

ability to provide a high-quality education to new grade(s). Examples of evidence include course catalog, assessment calendar, teacher licensure and endorsement requirements, current UCAS report, etc.

_____ Technical corrections. Include a redline version showing new additions and removed

language. Technical corrections include changes such as spelling, grammar, title for school employees, name of committees / groups, etc. It may also include re-ordering sections of the application for improved readability and use by the governing board.

_____ Other. Please describe amendment requests that do not fall into any identified category above. Provide details and supporting documentation as appropriate. Additional information may be requested following review.
