Operators of a Jackson charter school say the board overseeing charter schools in the state did not take into account the most recent data and denied them due process when considering the schoolâs contract renewal.
But Lisa Karmacharya, executive director of the board that made the decision, said the board was simply following guidelines outlined in state law and the recommendation of an evaluation team of independent, highly qualified individuals.Â
The Charter School Authorizer Board, the state body that oversees public charter schools in the state, granted Joel E. Smilow Prep in Jackson a four-year contract with conditions at its meeting last week â even though they were eligible for a five-year, unconditional renewal.
