BRIEFING MEMORANDUM
TO: SPCSA Board FROM: Patrick Gavin

DATE: March 24, 2016 Based on guidance from the Office of the Nevada Attorney General, staff requests the continuance of Agenda Item 5 in its entirety and the continuance of the Nevada Virtual Notice of Closure discussion and possible action under Agenda Item 6.
TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Public Comment #1
Public Comment will be taken during this agenda item regarding any item appearing on the agenda. No action may be taken on a matter discussed under this item until the matter is included on an agenda as an item on which action may be taken. The secretary of the State Public Charter School Authority Board will impose a time limit of three minutes.

4. Consideration of Settlement of Appeal of Closure of Silver State Charter School (Page 26)
5. High Stakes Review of Nevada Virtual Academy based on Nevada Virtual’s performance, against the Authority’s expectations. Possible actions may include contract termination due to persistent underperformance or material breach of the terms and conditions of the charter contract, or a return to good standing. Nevada Virtual must demonstrate substantial progress towards meeting the Authority’s academic performance expectations. Substantial progress will be based on the school’s aggregate academic performance based on the Authority’s academic indicators that will result in closing the gap between baseline (SY12/13) performance and “Adequate,” as described in the performance framework within three years.
