The Walnut School District’s Board of Education is expected to decide during their meeting tonight, on whether or not to approve a proposed Charter School in the community. Public meetings on the matter have already been held, and during the Board’s meeting on November 12^th, they discussed, but took no action on the Charter School application, pending review from the State Attorney’s Office.

If the board approves, the application will be sent  on to the State Board of Education for their decision. A Charter School Committee, comprised of group of parents, a school district member and a community member, had first asked the School Board to consider the proposal for a K-through 12 Charter School as an option for their students, during a meeting on October 8th. Tonight’s Board meeting begins at 6:30-p.m.
