Unanimously approved the exclusive chartering authority, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(b)(II) (Munn and Orr were absent; DeHoff was absent on recusal). [Staff recommended that the district’s request be approved, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(b)(II), which requires the district to be granted exclusive chartering authority if the SBE determines that it has provided fair and equitable treatment to its charter schools during the preceding 4 years and its percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch enrolled in its charter schools is greater than the percentage that is one percentage point below the overall percentage of FRL students in the district.]
Unanimously approved the exclusive chartering authority, based on 22-30.5-504(6). (Orr was absent; DeHoff was absent on recusal). [Staff did not have a recommendation on this district’s request, but noted that the decision would have to be based on 22-30.5-504(6), which requires the district to be granted exclusive chartering authority if it has no discernable history of authorizing charter schools, has not had a moratorium or enrollment limits on charter schools, and has complied with all SBE orders.]

Unanimously approved the exclusive chartering authority, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a). (Orr was absent; DeHoff was absent on recusal). [Staff recommended that the district’s request be approved; the request was approved last year, by a majority vote of the SBE, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a), which requires the district to be granted exclusive chartering authority if the SBE determines that it has provided fair and equitable treatment to its charter schools during the preceding 4 years. The district did not really need to reapply for exclusive authority.]
Unanimously approved the exclusive chartering authority, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a)(I). (Orr was absent; DeHoff was absent on recusal). [Staff recommended that the district’s request be approved, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a)(I), which requires the district to be granted exclusive chartering authority if the SBE determines that it has provided fair and equitable treatment to its charter schools during the preceding 4 years through the demonstration of compliance with the Charter Schools Act. Denver’s exclusive chartering authority had been approved last year, but it had to reapply because last year’s approval was based on different criteria; its percentage of free/reduced lunch students in charter schools went down below the amount stipulated in 22-30.5-504(5)(b)(II).]
Approved the exclusive chartering authority, based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a)(I). (The vote was 4:2; Littleton and Suckla dissented. Orr was absent; DeHoff was absent on recusal). [Staff recommended that the district’s request be denied; their request was denied last year, by a majority vote of the SBE. The recommendation for denial is based on 22-30.5-504(5)(a)(I), which says that a district should be denied exclusive chartering authority if the SBE determines that it has not complied with full and accurate accounting practices and charges for central administrative overhead costs. The district explained in its oral testimony what accounted for the discrepancies, asserting that it has provided fair and equitable treatment to its charter schools during the preceding 4 years and has handled its finances in a way to meet the needs of its charter schools, although the way it was reflected in the percentages of costs does not appear equitable.]

[Staff recommended that the district’s request be denied; the request was denied last year, by a majority vote of the SBE. The recommendation for denial is based on 22-30.5-504(5)(I)(D), which says that a district should be denied exclusive chartering authority if the district violated an order of the SBE (which is asserted to be applicable because the district did not approve the charter application for DeSpain Academy Charter High School a few years ago).]
