Yakima School District Also Applying to be Charter School Authorizer
In a somewhat old-school turn of events, Yakima School District has been added to the list of 12 districts that have filed letter of intent to become charter school authorizers.
Now the State Board of Ed didn't specify how the letter was to come to them so, according to their office, most of the districts send their letter via e-mail with a few following up with a hard copy via the mail.
Yakima, though, sent theirs thru first-class mail (with no signature required) and yup, it got lost in the mail because the SBE never received it. So, when the announcement of who had applied came out after the April 1 deadline, Yakima was perplexed as to why they were not on the list.
But all's well that ends well and they have been added to the list.
In my spot-check of districts that have filed letters of intent, several have stated they are buying time. Time gives
