PUEBLO — Pueblo School District 60 (D60) is cutting off its partnership with Chavez-Huerta Preparatory Academy (CHPA). The school board voted unanimously to no longer charter CHPA in Tuesday's school board meeting.
This comes after concerns for the partnership raised by the following:
- D60 Board of Education
- Charter Review Board
- Superintendent
Some of those concerns include the following:
- academic performance
- academy's financial situation
- high staff turnover rate over the last four years
CHPA tells News5 they are waiting a decision from D60 on whether or not they will release the charter authorization.
According to CHPA, if this happens, they will pursue authorization with the Charter School Institute or another district. If it doesn't happen, they will appeal the Colorado Department of Education for release.
