Monterey Bay and CORAL charters back again at MCOE

Monterey County Office of Education administrators are recommending a hearty approval of the Monterey Bay Charter School in Pacific Grove, citing its "sound educational practice." The school had also earned rave reviews about its money management, so the commendation to renew its charter status by another five years hardly comes as a surprise.

Another charter that will have its day under the sun -- or rain, most likely on Wednesday -- is CORAL. As I previously reported, CORAL petitioners asked MPUSD to deny its charter in December rather than approve it with conditions. They didn't want to face the possibility of a denial with no time to open in the fall, so now they'll take their chances with MCOE administrators -- who they describe as friendly, cooperative, and open to their idea.

Monterey Bay Charter's scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CORAL's for 5:30 p.m. The MCOE board of trustees meets at 901 Blanco Circle, Salinas.
