WACA Charter goes in front of Banning USD Board of Education

January 9th was an important day for the Web-based Academy for California (WACA).  We presented our charter school to the Banning USD Board of Education!

It's hard to put an entire school program into a 20 minute presentation!  The Record Gazette was there to take notes - you can read their article at this link.

WACA will give the students in the Banning USD and surrounding areas access to a high quality educational program that will equip students with all the necessary skills to be successful in the 21st century economy, including a strong push to dual-enroll at MSJC during their last year of school.  With the MSJC satellite facility, Banning is the perfect community for this program.

This is a link to the online charter petition.  We encourage you to read it and email us any questions you may have. (clopez@wacaed.com)

The Board of Education will vote whether or not approve the WACA petition on January 23rd.  If you would like to give a word of support, we encourage you to come before 5:30 and put your name on the list for public comments.  (Here is a link to the agenda for the evening)  We would love your support!

All parents should have the right to choose what school is the best fit for their children.  Help make WACA an option.
