Summary : Novastar Academy Charter School has filed an application on or about March 15, 2022 to be authorized as a charter school by the District’s Board. Leman Classical School and The Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Charter School have filed applications to replicate their charter school within the District on or about March 15, 2022. Colorado’s Charter Schools Act at C.R.S. 22-30.5-107(2) provides that a “local board of education shall rule by resolution on the application for a charter school . . . within ninety days after receiving the application” and at C.R.S. 22-30.5-107(2.5) further provides that the “charter applicant and the local board of education may jointly waive the deadlines set forth in [the] section.” The charter school applicants Novastar, Leman, and STEM representatives have communicated to District representatives that they are willing to extend the 90 day requirement for the District’s Board to rule on their applications for a new charter school (Novastar) and replication of an existing charter school (Leman and STEM) so that the Board may consider and rule by resolution on their applications at a meeting of the Board to be held on June 21, 2022.
