It is not possible to quantify this at this time, as the student population in the future is unknown. Denial of the charter school renewal application will have fiscal impact on the district as the current students at the charter school may be enrolled in traditional district schools or other charter or private schools. It is not possible to quantify that impact at this time. DATA SOURCE : This agenda item was prepared by Julie Summerlin, Administrative Coordinator, Choice, Charter and Community Education.
