County to vote on Clayton Valley charter proposal tomorrow night
| | College Park parents are urged to attend the Contra Costa County Office of Education's board meeting tomorrow evening, Wednesday, January 11 at 5:30 in the multi-use room at Pleasant Hill Elementary. At this meeting, the board is expected to vote whether to approve or deny Clayton Valley High School's charter petition.
The charter, if approved, will have significant financial consequences for College Park and every other school in the district. Parents are asked to become familiar with the issues and attend the meeting, as it is critically important that the board receive input from parents from across the district.
The charter petition was denied by the MDUSD board in November and then appealed to the Contra Costa Office of Education.
For more information, contact Matt Lovett or Mary Gray.
