Global Tides CA Statewide, K-12, Online, Public Charter School
Charter School Development Systems has created a non-profit organization known as Global Tides and will be opening a California, statewide, online, K-12 charter school in September 2010. The online, K-12 charter school would provide another public educational option for:
Educationally “At-Risk” students and who may potentially drop out
Home schooled students
Home bound students
Independent studies students
Students who live in rural areas who must commute a great distance
In order to comply with the mission of Ed Futures, Charter School Development Systems will perform a large marketing campaign that will target these underserved segments throughout California.
According to California Education Code of Regulations, Title 5, Subchapter 19, Section 11967.6, Subparagraph (a) (7) it states that the online charter school needs to prove “success in operating previously approved in California as evidenced by improved pupil academic performance and annual financial audits with no audit findings or exceptions”.
Therefore, we feel we need to be in operation for 3-5 years before we can apply for a statewide charter.
Furthermore, according to California Education Code of Regulations Section 47605.1, Subparagraph (c) states “ a charter school may establish… other satellite facility located in a county adjacent to that in which the charter school is authorized…”
Therefore, if a district in the following counties will charter our school, then we would be able to offer a statewide, online, K-12 charter school since our inception date in September 2010:
Alameda
Calaveras
Kern
Madera
Orange
Placer
Plumas
Riverside
San Benito
San Diego
Siskiyou
Sonoma
Tehama
Yolo
Since we are interested in targeting students statewide, the amount of students enrolled in our online, K-12 charter school from your district will result in very small numbers.
For example, if one of the eight districts in Kern County were to charter our online, K-12 charter school, then we would have the ability to enroll students from Kern, San Luis Obispo, Kings, Tulare, Inyo, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties.
Therefore, of the one hundred students that we plan to enroll during our opening year, only a hand full of students might enroll from the district that sponsored our online, K-12 charter school, which would not result in a financial or any other type of burden to the sponsoring district.
Charter School Development Systems will use the wherewithal of Knowledge Elements to deliver the online educational material.
Knowledge Elements provides an interactive educational delivery system called Atheneo™.
Atheneo enables their partner K-12 schools, colleges, and universities to develop their own robust online learning program.
Knowledge Elements has access to course content repository and a virtual adjunct instructor base called “Knowledge Elements Educational Network” (KEEN) or by using the iCourseCreator™, Knowledge Elements clients can create, monitor, and offer their own course content to their students.
Charter School Development Systems will be utilizing the latter option as its deliverable.
The delivery platform was designed by a team of educators and technology experts to facilitate the maximum interaction among students, course content, and instructors.
It delivers a set of rich tools for monitoring student activity and success metrics, as well as simple yet powerful tools for building courses.
Furthermore, the delivery platform is language independent, which enables educators to connect with students across cultural, geographic, and language boundaries.
Also, Charter School Development Systems will use a third party vendor named www.eTAP.org for assessment and STAR, CASHEE, and all other standardized test preparation.
www.eTAP.org is a comprehensive K-12 curriculum designed to help students improve their academic performance.
The curriculum includes instruction, practice exercises, assessments, as well as audio/video tutorials and links to interactive activities to make learning motivating and engaging.
Furthermore, Charter School Development Systems will use the wherewithal and experience of Ed Futures to create the education potion of the online, K-12 charter school.
Once again, Charter School Development Systems would like to open a California, statewide, online, K-12 charter school in September 2010. The online, K-12 charter school would provide another public educational option for:
Educationally “At-Risk” students and who may potentially drop out
Home schooled students
Home bound students
Independent studies students
Students who live in rural areas who must commute a great distance
Furthermore, Charter School Development Systems would like to:
Add market share to the district by creating a robust partnership
Work cooperatively with the district to deliver curriculum in order to stay on track with the district, county, and state standards
Set aside 1% to 5% budget for the district, depending on the participatory level of the district and our partnership
In order to comply with the mission of Ed Futures, Charter School Development Systems will perform a large marketing campaign that will target underserved communities.
