Charter school boards list facilities and money items for possible action; no votes recorded in posted records

No votes, decisions or approved dollar amounts appear in the meeting records reviewed for this week's roundup of charter school boards. Every entry from the past 14 days and the next 14 days is an agenda or a meeting notice; minutes have not been published for any of them. What follows is what boards have listed for discussion or possible action, not what they have done.

Facilities and money lead the upcoming agendas

The Amplus Academy board meets Oct. 28 and may vote on a Rainbow network upgrade proposal with Concourse for $133,974.52, of which the Academy would cover $79,595.53. The agenda also lists a Campus Cleaning Service Agreement with La Bamba Cleaning Services LLC not to exceed $90,000, and review and possible approval of the FY26 final audit from Velez and Hardy.

Coral Academy of Science (Las Vegas) meets Oct. 28 to discuss the purchase of land for expansion, selection of an architect for the Cadence expansion, roof replacement for the Sandy Ridge Campus, charter amendments for campus expansion and an increased enrollment cap for the Windmill Campus, and an FY 2026-2027 Budget Amendment.

Nevada Virtual Charter School meets Oct. 27 for a discussion with Collier Group regarding potential services for a future school building purchase, a discussion with CAPTRUST on school investment fund performance, election of President, Vice President and Treasurer for 2026-2027, and review of monthly expenditure reports, budget to actuals and 12-month cash flows.

Construction loan, policies and performance on recent agendas

Beacon Academy of Nevada (Oct. 15) listed a final construction loan payout process with DC Building Group, EFF and US Bank; a Request for Proposals process for the East Campus Roof Repair; an amended UBER Transportation Policy; a Beacon Closet safe distribution policy; and an SB 460 Petition to eliminate or suspend parent notification requirements under NRS 388A.367. The agenda also listed a notice of school low performance and 2025-2026 annual school ratings.

Western Youth Leadership, Engagement, and Empowerment School (Oct. 13) listed a possible MOU with The Harbor or a similar provider to assist victims of power-based violence, McKinney-Vento and Foster Care policies for 2026-2027, a financial review, the NSPF Star Rating for SY25-26 and plans to address any Notice of Low Performance, and Charter School Program grant goals.

Innovations International Charter School of Nevada (Oct. 12) listed possible action to remove a Governing Board member for non-participation, discussion of Governor's Emergency Funding regarding reduced student enrollment, possible approval of McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Policy Manuals, fundraising for Oakey Campus Choir tickets for a November 26 performance, and technology updates for the Oakey and Sahara campuses.

ThrivePoint Academy (Oct. 21) listed a Progressive Discipline Plan Based on Restorative Practices, a 2027-2028 Student Lottery Policy, a CSN Dual Credit Course Submission, an NSPF Star Rating Action Plan, and a Quarterly Financial Statement covering May 2026 through September 2026.

Nevada State High School (Oct. 21) listed acknowledgement of the Nevada Attorney General's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in OAG File No. 13897-558, along with SPCSA reports and contracts.

Schedule changes and agendas not available

The Southern Nevada Trades High School meeting set for Oct. 12 was rescheduled to Monday, Oct. 19. The Leadership Academy of Nevada Executive Committee meeting on Oct. 22 was rescheduled from Sept. 3. For many listed meetings, the supplied record contains no agenda content at all — among them Kesher Academy, Oasis Academy, Bailey Charter ES, Alpine Academy, Discovery Preparatory Academy and Mater Academy of Northern Nevada. That absence reflects what was posted in the documents reviewed, not a finding that those boards took no action.

Charter school boards post agendas on construction loan payout, emergency enrollment funding and student policies

Charter school governing boards across Nevada posted agendas over the past two weeks covering a construction loan payout, emergency funding tied to declining enrollment, and student support policies. As of Oct. 19, no minutes or vote tallies from those meetings had been published in the records reviewed, so what was actually decided is not established.

Beacon Academy of Nevada: construction loan and roof repair (Oct. 15)

The Governing Body's agenda listed discussion and possible votes on a "Final construction loan payout process with DC Building Group, EFF, and US Bank" and a "Request for Proposals (RFP) process for the East Campus Roof Repair." Also listed were an amended UBER Transportation Policy, a "Beacon Closet - Safe Distribution of Products to Students Policy," and an "SB 460 Petition to eliminate or suspend parent notification requirements under NRS 388A.367." The meeting summary also states the board would address a notice of school low performance and review 2025-2026 annual school ratings. No dollar amounts appear in the posted material.

Innovations International: enrollment funding and a board seat (Oct. 12)

The Governing Board's agenda listed a possible action to remove a Governing Board member for non-participation, and discussion of Governor's Emergency Funding regarding reduced student enrollment. Also listed: possible approval of McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Policy Manuals, discussion of fundraising for Oakey Campus Choir tickets for a Nov. 26 performance, and technology updates for the Oakey and Sahara campuses.

WYLEES: victim services agreement and star rating (Oct. 13)

The Western Youth Leadership, Engagement, and Empowerment School Board listed a possible adoption of an MOU with The Harbor or a similar provider to assist victims of power-based violence, and possible adoption of McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Policies for the 2026-2027 school year. The agenda also included a financial review of current spending and upcoming expenditures, discussion of the NSPF Star Rating for SY25-26 and plans to address any Notice of Low Performance, and possible action on Charter School Program (CSP) Grant goals and progress.

Also on the agendas

Nexus Charter School held its inaugural Governing Board meeting Oct. 8 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM at 199 N Arroyo Grande Blvd in Henderson, with an online option via Google Meet and a phone dial-in. The posting described meeting logistics and public comment rules, including a three-minute limit per speaker, rather than action items. Southern Nevada Trades High School's Oct. 12 meeting was rescheduled to Oct. 19.

What the records do not show

Most of the roughly 30 postings were meeting calendars, website navigation pages, or file listings with no agenda items attached. Those included Carson Montessori School, Vegas Vista Academy, Oasis Academy, Mater Academy of Northern Nevada, Bailey Charter ES, Alpine Academy, Discovery Preparatory Academy, Rainbow Dreams Early Learning Academy, Young Women's Leadership Academy, Pinecrest Academy of Nevada, Doral Academy of Northern Nevada Foundation, and Explore Knowledge Academy, among others. The Kesher Academy Charter School posting resolved to a Gmail sign-in page rather than an agenda. No dollar figures, vote tallies, or adopted motions appear anywhere in the supplied material. The absence of published minutes is not evidence that no action was taken.

Somerset Carson City opening delayed to August 2027

The Somerset Academy of Carson City Board of Directors met Oct. 1 via Zoom.
