Upcoming Charter School Applications in Washington State
There were 12 NOIs (Notices of Intent) submitted to the Washington State Charter Commission this fall.I'd be surprised if more than six even submit an application; it's a heavy lift to get done.
There were some surprises as I researched each NOI.
First surprise?
That the two assistant principals at West Seattle High School, Scott Canfield and Garth Reeves, have submitted an NOI. That would be for Cascade:Midway High School in south King County to start in 2021. They are getting help via the Washington Charter Schools Association which accepted them for their School Leadership and Design Fellowship.
As I said in my email to the Board, it's not a crime to be looking for another job. Not even for another job that will directly compete against your current one. But I would hate to learn that they are using time and/or resources at SPS to do that work.
There are several schools in other areas of Washington State including Vancouver, Bremerton, Whatcom, and the Tri-Cities.
There are a couple labelled as opening in Seattle while still others say South King County( and that may include Seattle).
There are a couple that are dual-language-based including Camino:The Learning Journey that would be a Spanish/French immersion school for grades 5-12. The applicant, Antonette Sabrots, is a long-time educator, including six years in SPS. This would be a Seattle-based school.
As well, the charter in Bremerton, Catalyst:Bremerton, which would be a K-8, has two long-time charter school administrators including one from TFA.
On the other hand, the one in Vancouver would be started by a business management consultant. It would be a K-12 called CAM Charter School. CAM stands for Character and Academics for the Marketplace.
There are a couple of familiar charter faces in former SPS employee, Bree Dusseault, who hopes to open a K-8 in Tacoma in 2020. Likewise, Impact, which opened one elementary last fall wants to open another elementary, Salish Sea Elementary in "south Puget Sound."
There are two ethnically-based NOIs.
One is the Fursan School. The lead on this charter is, Mohamed Bakr, a guy who does digital marketing and directs the Muslim Community Neighborhood Association in Bellevue. He wrote down "King County" for location.
The other would be a school called Whole Elephant Chinese Charter School under the direction of Lotus King Weiss. This would be a K-8 in Seattle opening in 2020. The Commission previously rejected their application.
Dr. Weiss, a cancer researcher, has opened several of these in New York State. One possible issue with this application could be that Dr. Weiss is a follower of Falun Gong/Falun Dafa. I don't know much about this but it seems to have been a sticking point for opening charter schools in New York State.
There are two others on the horizon that have not filed yet; one in Wenatchee and one in Spokane. The one in Spokane would go thru Spokane SD which is a charter school authorizer and would be for teen parents. To note, SPS has and has had for a long time a school to help teen parents complete with day care in South Lake High School.
