Background:
|
Honey Creek Continuous Progress School (Honey Creek), located at 6701 West Eden Place, was established as an instrumentality charter school beginning in fall 2005. During each renewal cycle since, the Board has approved a five-year renewed contract. The current contract is for up to a maximum of 401 full-time-equivalent (FTE) pupils in grades K4 through 5.
The vision of Honey Creek is to create an environment in which students are academically prepared to meet the challenges of higher education and will become socially responsible citizens.
On December 19, 2019, the Board approved a five-year renewal for Honey Creek and authorized the Administration, in collaboration with the Board’s Designee and the Office of the City Attorney, to begin contract negotiations with representatives from Honey Creek.
In April 2020, representatives from Honey Creek, the MPS Office of Board Governance, the Office of the City Attorney and the MPS Administration reviewed and negotiated the proposed modifications to the model instrumentality charter school contract and agreed to the attached redline contract.
Contingent upon the Board’s approval, Honey Creek accepts the attached instrumentality charter contract with the modifications as outlined in the attachments to this item.
