Summary: Pursuant to California Education Code Section 47605, the Mt. Diablo Unified School District Board of Education (“Board”) will hold a public hearing on the Flex Public School petition to establish a charter school.

The role of the Board is to hold this public hearing in accordance with Education Code Section 47605(b), “No later than 30 days after receiving a petition, in accordance with subdivision (a), the governing board of the school district shall hold a public hearing on the provisions of the charter, at which time the governing board of the school district shall consider the level of support for the petition by teachers employed by the district, other employees of the district, and parents. Following review of the petition and the public hearing, the governing board of the school district shall either grant or deny the charter within 60 days of receipt of the petition, provided, however, that the date may be extended by an additional 30 days if both parties agree to the extension.”
