Charter Renewal Petition Vote is Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Parents and Guardians of CCHS students are encouraged to cast a vote for or against submitting a Charter Petition for Chamblee Charter High School to continue as a charter school.  If a majority of CCHS teachers and parents vote yes, and the new Charter is approved by DeKalb County Schools and the State, it will be effective for five years beginning July 1, 2016.  If a majority vote no, Chamblee will no longer have Charter status after July 1, 2016. 

 

Although CCHS parents and staff voted last September (2014) to approve the charter petition, and it was submitted to DCSD on time, the Georgia Board of Education approved major changes in charter school policy shortly after submittal.

 

The DCSD Charter Division and the CCHS Governance Council agreed that deadlines for the 2014 petition cycle would not provide enough time for DCSD and CCHS to clarify the impacts of these changes.  Therefore, CCHS requested a one year extension and is resubmitting a renewal petition in the 2015 cycle.  Another formal vote is required because it is a new petition cycle and the petition had to be rewritten to match the new format from DCSD. 

  

The Vote will take place in the CCHS GYM LOBBY from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm on Wednesday, August 12th.   

 

Parents and Guardians shall collectively have one vote for each student enrolled in CCHS.  You must have a state or federal issued valid photo ID to vote.
