DECISION ON URBAN PREP ACADEMIES ENGLEWOOD CAMPUS CHARTER SCHOOL APPEAL

Approvals

*Approval of the FY 2024 Board Meeting Calendar

The Illinois State Board of Education hereby approves the FY 2024 dates for State Board of Education meetings.

Director of Charter Schools David Turovetz discussed both Urban Prep Academies appeal items. There were no questions.

Mr. Eddy said he found that the hearing was appropriately convened pursuant to the Illinois School Code and Part 650 of Title 23 of the Illinois Administrative Code. The hearing officer determined that:

1. Urban Prep - Englewood is not in compliance with Article 27A of the School Code or its charter agreement; and

2. It is in the best interest of the Urban Prep - Englewood students that the Chicago Board of Education’s decision to non-renew Urban Prep - Englewood’s charter agreement be upheld.

Mr. Eddy said that the State Board of Education must find that a charter school meets both prongs of the legal standard – legal compliance and best interests of the students – to grant a charter school appeal. He said that the hearing officer determined that Urban Prep - Englewood is not in compliance with Article 27A of the School Code or its charter agreement, so according to statute the Board cannot consider on its own the question of whether the school is in the best interests of the students it was designed to serve.

Mr. Eddy moved that the State Board of Education hereby adopts the hearing officer’s findings of fact and conclusions of law determining that the Urban Prep Academies - Englewood campus was not in compliance with the Charter Schools Law and its charter agreement.

He further moved that the State Board of Education hereby denies Urban Prep Academies’ appeal of the decision by the Chicago Board of Education to non-renew the charter and charter school agreement of the Urban Prep Academies - Englewood campus.

Dr. Benson seconded the motion.

Dr. Leak said that the issues leading to the decisions on the appeals were clear, but that there is a crucial need for young African American men to have a space that supports them and recognizes their value. She said that she could not support the impact that the decisions would have on the lives and opportunities available to the young men of those communities but could not endorse the schools in face of compliance issues.

The motion passed by a roll call vote. Four members were in favor, and Dr. Anderson and Dr. Leak abstained.

DECISION ON URBAN PREP ACADEMIES BRONZEVILLE CAMPUS CHARTER SCHOOL APPEAL

Dr. Benson said she found that the hearing was appropriately convened pursuant to the Illinois School Code and Part 650 of Title 23 of the Illinois Administrative Code. The hearing officer determined that:

1. Urban Prep - Bronzeville is not in compliance with Article 27A of the School Code or its charter agreement; and

2. It is in the best interest of the Urban Prep - Bronzeville students that the Chicago Board of Education’s decision to non-renew Urban Prep – Bronzeville’s charter agreement be upheld.

She said that the State Board must find that a charter school meets both prongs of the legal standard – legal compliance and best interests of the students – to grant a charter school appeal. She said that the hearing officer determined that Urban Prep – Bronzeville is not in compliance with Article 27A of the School Code or its charter agreement, so according to statute this Board cannot consider on its own the question of whether the board or the school is in the best interests of the students it was designed to serve.

Dr. Benson moved that the State Board of Education hereby adopts the hearing officer’s findings of fact and conclusions of law determining that the Urban Prep Academies - Bronzeville campus was not in compliance with the Charter Schools Law and its charter agreement.

She further moved that the State Board of Education hereby denies Urban Prep Academies’ appeal of the decision by the Chicago Board of Education to non-renew the charter and charter school agreement of the Urban Prep Academies - Bronzeville campus.

Mr. Eddy seconded the motion. The motion passed by a roll call vote. Four members were in favor, and Dr. Anderson and Dr. Leak abstained.

Chair Isoye thanked stakeholders for their input and advocacy throughout the process, including the students and parents. He said that ISBE and CPS are committed to the success of the students. He discussed the plans to open a new school operating out of the two campuses, developed in consultation with CPS’ Urban Black Male Educators advisory group and the Eagle Academy for Young Men of New York. He said that CPS had formed an advisory council composed of community leaders and parents of Urban Prep students to oversee the new model and selection of school leadership, and that parent and community engagement would be an essential part of the process.

Chair Isoye said that the Board had thoroughly reviewed the appeals and recommendations and discussed the violations of the School Code that led to the decisions. He affirmed that Urban Prep did not meet the legal standard for the Board to grant the appeals in favor of the charter schools.

Chair Isoye said that supporting current Urban Prep students is the top priority of ISBE, CPS, and Urban Prep, and that they would strive to provide opportunities that supported their cultural identities and achievements. He emphasized the Board’s gratitude to everyone who engaged on this issue.
