Twin Rivers Unified School District

Twin Rivers Unified School District

This section is designed to serve as a guide to TRUSD authorized charter schools regarding the renewal process.

 
Petitioners renewing their Charter School Petition should communicate with the District as early in the school year (July - August).  Sharilyn Warta, Project Manager, will work with petitioners to identify the best submission timelines for all parties.  Petitioners are encouraged to work with timelines that allow utilization of the current year's board meeting schedule and avoid timelines that require a special meeting of the Board to be called.
 
  • STEP 1:  Between July and August, the petitioner contacts TRUSD to determine submission timelines that work with both the petitioner's schedule and the current year's Board schedule.   
 
 
  • STEP 2:  Petitioner provides written notification of exact submission date (at least 2-weeks prior) and schedules a meeting (email: sharilyn.warta@trusd.net)
 
 
  • STEP 3:  During the scheduled meeting, the petitioner submits all required documents, affirmations, and a certification stating the petition is complete.
 
 
  • STEP 4:  Within 3 - 5 business days, TRUSD notifies the petition via email if all required documents were submitted. If all required documents were submitted the TRUSD petition review team will begin the official review. If the petition was incomplete, then petitioners will have the option to pick up their documents at the District office and reschedule a new submission date. 
 
 
  • STEP 5:  Public Hearing (within 60 days of submission)
 
 
  • STEP 6:  TRUSD posts recommendations 15 days before the decision.  
 
 
  • STEP 7:  Twin Rivers' Board of Trustees makes a final decision to approve or deny the petition (within 90 days of submission, 120 if mutually agreed upon).
