Jeffco LWV forging position on charter schools

The League of Women Voters of Jefferson County has drafted a position on Jeffco charter schools resulting from an extensive study in 2015.  It states: “Support of policies which promote conscientious approval of charter school applications and renewals and comprehensive and continual oversight of charter schools in Jefferson County.” At March 8-10 public unit meetings, members will discuss this position and also charter school standards the League believes the school district should follow. If approved, it will be added to the League’s existing education positions. The League meets in the foothills at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, March 8, at Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District, 317 S. Lookout Mountain Rd., Golden 80401. Call Janet at 303-674-7755 for information. An evening meeting also is available; call 720-254-5741.
