(Imagine Charter School)…Its fate is in the hands of the state.

The El Centro Elementary School Board denied the petition to renew their Charter. That decision was appealed to the County Office of Education Board. That Board agreed with the El Centro District. The final option for Imagine was to appeal the decisions to the state. The State Board of Education will be asked to overturn the previous decisions. That board will decide the issue September 6th or 7th. Many of the students who attended Imagine last year could not wait, and have registered in regular classes, at least for this school year.
