"Staff at Pasadena Unified School District will recommend that the district board reject a petition for an Aveson Charter School in Northwest Pasadena, claiming the school could siphon millions of dollars away from the financially strapped district, Chief Academic Officer Alice Petrossian said Monday.
'We're declining in enrollment and while the district recognizes the importance of education options we don't need a charter school for programs the district already offers,' Petrossian said.
The board will consider the request for an Aveson International School for the Arts tonight.
The proposed school would be the third operated by Aveson Charter School in the Pasadena Unified district borders."
