TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Public Comment #1
Public Comment will be taken during this agenda item regarding any item appearing on the agenda.

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.
