Board renews charter school to applause of teachers
Innovations International Charter School received a six-year renewal of its charter from the Clark County School Board on Thursday.
The decision, which came without hesitation or discussion among School Board members, earned a hearty applause from teachers at the K-12 school near Charleston Boulevard and Eastern Avenue.
The school opened in 2005 and has about 760 students. The Clark County School District’s Charter School Review Team has conducted annual reviews of Innovation since 2006 and has reported the school to be exemplary in terms of compliance with regulations. The school didn’t meet the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act in 2010-11, but did the previous year and was designated high achieving.
