"Lompoc Unified School District administrators have the unenviable duty of being responsible for the financial stability of charter schools inside the district — charter schools like Manzanita, which LUSD has very little control over.
Tonight’s meeting of the LUSD Board of Education will include presentation of Manzanita Public Charter School’s inaugural audit report, detailing the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
Another report, Manzanita’s “First Interim Report,” is also to be presented to the public and to the board at the meeting. The interim report reflects the school’s general ledger through Oct. 31, 2009.
Review of both of the charter school’s documents is “the right and responsibility” of the school district, according to district staff."
