Meeting of the Board of Regents | July 2003

SUMMARY:

The Board of Regents is authorized to approve proposed revisions to existing charters. The Riverhead Charter School is requesting an amendment to its charter to allow the current class of 27 5^th grade students to remain in the school as 6^th grade students for the 2003-04 school year.

A copy of the proposed amendment is attached.
