Vanguard School charter contract renewal still unsettled

What happened

The board approved a five-year renewal of The Vanguard School charter contract on June 4, 2026. The school did not sign it and on June 24 asked for changes. The board considered those changes on Aug 6 and met in closed session on Aug 20 for legal advice about the contract.

Why it matters to families

The old contract ended June 30, 2026. Until a contract is signed, the terms for the school's oversight and funding are uncertain for its students and families.

The evidence

The Aug 6 agenda states the board authorized renewal on June 4, that Vanguard did not sign, and that the prior contract expired June 30. The Aug 20 minutes record a closed session with no action taken. The final outcome was not found in the documents reviewed.
