Superintendent Cassie Parham summarized District staff and legal review of the Irvine Chinese Immersion Academy petition to expand from TK–5 to include grades 6–8. Based on the District’s analysis, staff recommended conditional approval with a Memorandum of Understanding to refine certain areas; the Board adopted Resolution No. 25-26-19 (Option 2) by unanimous vote.
The minutes state staff reviewed charter law requirements and material revision standards and proposed conditional approval pending further agreement through an MOU. The Board’s action places conditions on the petition’s approval rather than granting unconditional expansion; the motion was made by Lauren Brooks and seconded by Cyril Yu.
