Amendments & Ready to Open
May Amendment Requests
CSAB voted to approve the mission change amendment request proposed for Shining Rock Classical Academy. This approved requests will go forward to the State Board of Education in June.
For questions about the amendment process, reach out to Ashley.Baquero@dpi.nc.gov. All amendment materials can be found on Eboard. If you have feedback/input regarding guidelines for school board mergers and situations where one board is responsible for multiple schools, please feel free to reach out to Ashley Baquero at the email above or 984-236-2708.
As a reminder, amendments requiring SBE approval take a minimum of 2-3 months AFTER all materials are accurately submitted. OCS will begin to enforce strict guidelines for submitting materials at least one week prior to a CSAB meeting. With over 200 schools, staff needs more time to prepare materials properly. Please plan ahead for all requests.
