Eagles Academy contract deferred; district expects review and approval in July

District administrators brought the Eagles Academy charter contract to the board for review and said the charter’s governance board reviewed it earlier in the evening. A presenter told the board that Governor Whitport has elected not to approve the contract at this time.

Administrators said they expect the contract to be revisited in July and anticipated it would be ready for approval by both parties then. Redline changes in the draft align the agreement with Department of Public Instruction (DPI) standards rather than previous alignment with the CISA governance framework; presenters said DPI’s requirements have become more detailed and the draft includes additions to conform to DPI expectations.

What happens next: Administrators will continue contract negotiations and expect to bring a revised contract to the board and governance body in July for approval.
