Woodland Poly supporters to petition YCOE for charter high school

From the Woodland Record:

Immediately following the Woodland Joint Unified School District (WJUSD) board vote [Thursday, Nov. 18] denying the charter school petition for Woodland Polytechnic Academy (WPA), a grassroots coalition of parents and educators vowed to resubmit the petition to the Yolo County Office of Education. WPA is a new high school focused on pathways both to higher education and the world of work.

"We may have lost this battle, but we will win the war in the fight to give our children more opportunities for success. Today's vote, while disappointing, is only a minor setback and we are confident that the strong momentum will continue to make the dream of Woodland Poly a reality," said Paul Preston, a Woodland Polytechnic founder and Executive Director/Superintendent of California College, Career and Technical Education Center (CCCTEC).

Preston plans on submitting the petition to YCOE on [today,] Monday, November 22, Under state law, YCOE must take action on the petition within 60 days of receiving it.
