Moving Forward Beyond the Appeal 14 Jun 2021

The California Department of Education did not advance Caspar Creek’s appeal, and it is unlikely to be considered by the state board anytime soon, if ever. Despite this surprise, Caspar Creek is forging ahead with plans to open for 2021-2022—with or without tax support. In fact, rather than deter us, the CDE’s action has freed us, creating the clarity we needed to move forward in ways not practical while stuck …

Appeal to State Board Filed 10 Mar 2021

Our appeal to the State Board of Education was set in motion Tuesday, March 9, with our submission to SBE (with copies to MUSD and MCOE) detailing how both MUSD and MCOE abused their discretion in denying our petition.

Appeal to State Board in Progress 15 Feb 2021

Caspar Creek’s attorney is preparing an appeal to the State Board of Education, to be filed within 30 days of February 8. The first hurdle is cost.

Can you, or someone you know, …

Special consideration is given to the thoughts of …
Quick Enrollment Survey 2 Feb 2021

While our appeal is pending, the county board would like us to substantiate the enrollment projections in the charter petition. Could you take a minute to complete a very short, no-obligation survey about whether you would have enrolled this year (2020-2021, had we been allowed to open) or hope to enroll in a future year?

Petition Denial Appealed to County Board 19 Nov 2020

The denial of a charter petition by a school district can be appealed to the County Board of Education within thirty days of the denial. At its September 30, 2020 meeting, after denying Caspar Creek’s petition, the MUSD board directed an ad hoc committee to initiate discussions with Caspar Creek to explore possibibilities for Caspar Creek’s continuation.
