Rainier Prep charter school is anticipating funding from the state as they continue

Rainier prep
I’m not sure where this idea is coming from, yet, but Rainier Beach Prep charter school in the Highline School District is anticipating state funding from the state of Washington to reimburse their expenses as they move forward as a charter school.
It is apparent at this time that OSPI is doing everything they can to keep charter schools open in our state and ensure their funding, see  The Mary Walker School District rescinds their request for charter schools in the Seattle Public School District and  The charter school shell game in Washington State: Money laundering at its best (or worst?) by way of OSPI, and this appears to be the proof.
To follow are board meeting minutes from a Rainier Prep charter school board meeting in October of 2015, one month after the Supreme Court decided that charter schools are unconstitutional in the state of Washington.
