Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
In sept 2012, Howard Gardner Charter School K-8 opened on E St. In Chula Vista. In Sept 2013, they petioned CVESD for the establishment of Howard Gardner STEAM grades 9-12. CVESD did not grant it. Bayfront charter opened in 2014 for 9th grade. CVESD appears to have exercised some restraint.— February 19, 2016 9:23 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Bayfront does have a waiting list. What else does the report assign the decline in enrollment to, besides charter schools.— February 19, 2016 8:51 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Anniej- I am not a mouthpiece for Riley. I have seen substandard charter schooling east of the 805-specialists thrown into the classroom to avoid losing their job, bungalow classrooms with lousy routers that can't boot up laptops, Spanish offered as a self directed computer program where students never practiced speaking, grumbling support staff and a revolving door of teachers.— February 19, 2016 8:46 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Exactly Eastlaker. Prudent oversight is necessary to prevent fraud and substandard education.— February 19, 2016 8:37 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
This article proves that there are plenty of eyes on Bayfront. Concerned staff at Mueller, CVESD, Susan Luzzaro. Unless Riley completely lied to us about the fact that CVESD would not have to pay rent and that Mueller and mlac would remain solvent based on 10 year (worst case scenario) projections. I agree that CVESD/high school relationship should not even exist, but SUHSD needs to clean up the west side. Until that happens, Bayfront provides a beacon of hope.— February 19, 2016 8:31 a.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
I am not sure where this impression of Dr. Riley as a free wheelin cowboy with taxpayers money is coming from. Thank you Bvavsvavev for encouraging all to "not paint all Charters with a broad brush." If worst case scenario happens and Bayfront is dissolved, I would not trade in these last 2 years for any amount of time in SUHSD.— February 18, 2016 8:56 p.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
anniej--many familes (myself included) at Bayfront meetings in January, broke commitments (church, work related, education related, etc) in order to attend and share our concerns with Dr. Riley. I am glad that Susan Luzzaro is covering this as well.— February 18, 2016 8:44 p.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
***Full disclosure: I have family members attending Bayfront (BCHS) and a charter school east of 805.*** ***Visduh: Meetings were held with parents of BCHS 9th & 10th grades last month to discuss the future of the school (Gloria Tremper was not in attendance) I went into the meetings upset that the school's future hinged on USU's decision to relocate or not. Apparently, USU's CEO decided to pull the plug on the sublease to Bayfront last year and reduced the number of classrooms promised, which limited the number of incoming 9th grade students. (USU's intending to relocate... why the then CEO would not want a sublease in the meantime, is anyones guess?) Hallelujah that CVESD is proceeding with caution (as a 20+ year, west of 805 homeowner), I am appreciative of that. Yes, BCHS parents are concerned--this charter school and staff have delivered on all promises and built a great program. I am thankful for Mueller Elem and MCLA staff for their sacrifices in establishing BCHS.***** BVAVS*** My previous experience with charter schools was disappointing and I did not believe that Bayfront would deliver the services and education they promised in the first year. I can attest that Dr. Riley, and BCHS staff are engaged and in it for the students.— February 18, 2016 8:39 p.m.
Crisis at Bayfront Charter High
Annie J- Bayfront Charter High School's website will show that there is plenty of parental notification and involvement--- bayfrontcharter.com/location.html. All teaching staff (but one) from the first year returned to lead school clubs and coach school teams -volleyball, soccer, football, cross country, baseball, girls softball, etc. outside of classroom duties. ASB, homecoming dances, cheerleading squads, AP classes, drama, dance and languages class programs are offered. This school is the real deal.— February 18, 2016 8:01 p.m.
Our son's autism test score was down to 15
This story was referenced in a letter to the editor of the Chula Vista Star News of the irony of chula vista council deliberation regarding ordinances for pot cultivation and that this family was told to get rid of their animals because of "zoning" laws.— February 3, 2016 7:30 p.m.
