The California Board of Education will contest a recent court order that terminated its oversight of six schools owned by one of the largest charter school companies in the state.
Sue Burr, executive director for the state education board, said she couldn’t comment on the specific reasons for the challenge, but she said that members are “preserving the board’s legal rights while at the same time giving the parties sufficient opportunity to determine if a fair settlement can be reached.”
The board made the decision last week during the closed session portion of its monthly meeting.
In June, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Jo-Lynne Lee found that the board improperly awarded Aspire Public Schools rights to bypass local district oversight.
