NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Charter School Renewal Petition Not Provided
📅 October 8, 2026
The board is holding a public hearing to renew the charter for Altus Schools Coastal. While a sales-pitch presentation is available, the full, detailed charter renewal petition document was not accessible in the meeting packet, leaving parents in the dark about the school’s specific curriculum, policies, and operational plans for the next five years.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The full charter renewal petition for Altus Schools Coastal (Item 4) was not included in the publicly accessible packet. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand they post the full petition online immediately: ‘Parents cannot provide meaningful input at the public hearing for Item 4 without access to the full charter renewal document. Please make this document public before the Oct. 8 meeting.’

💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Charter Renewal Tied to Controversial EdTech Platform
📅 October 8, 2026
The renewal petition for JCS-Manzanita charter school reveals a past partnership with Summit Learning (now Gradient Learning), a platform backed by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. These platforms have faced national criticism over student data privacy and replacing teacher-led instruction with algorithm-driven screen time.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the Oct. 8 meeting: ‘Regarding the JCS-Manzanita charter renewal (Item 5), what is the current status of the partnership with Summit/Gradient Learning? What specific student data is shared with them and other online vendors like Edgenuity, and how can parents opt their children out of these platforms?’

💰 Impact: Student Data Privacy
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Win (LEVEL 5)
Board Strengthens Conflict of Interest Rules
📅 October 8, 2026
The Board is formally adopting and reviewing its Conflict of Interest Code (Items 6a and 6b). This bylaw requires board members and key staff to publicly disclose financial interests, preventing them from voting on matters where they could personally profit. This is a positive step for transparency and good governance.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up or send an email to the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) to thank them for adopting and implementing Bylaw 9270. ‘We support the Board’s commitment to transparency and ethics by strengthening its Conflict of Interest code. Thank you for protecting taxpayer trust.’

✅ Why It Matters: Increased Accountability
