Navigating Charter Challenges; Transforming Reluctance into Board Approval

In this interactive session led by Larry King, attendees will delve into the complexities of board perspectives on charter schools and the pivotal role superintendents play in charter application decisions. Drawing from his unique experience of securing unanimous renewal from a previously hesitant authorizer, Larry will provide valuable tactics for addressing challenges with districts that might be resistant to charter collaboration. Join us to share your experiences and equip yourself with strategies to foster constructive charter and district interactions.

I started as an elementary and middle school teacher from 1992-2006. I served as an administrator in several seats from 2007-present: elementary and middle school site administrator, director of personnel services, director of facilities and long range planning, assistant superintendent of personnel/pupil services, and superintendent from 2017-2021. Currently I serve as a director for the Sage Oak Charter Schools. I've had the privilege to serve large and medium size school districts composing a wide range of demographics. I've consulted and advised school boards, superintendents, and CEO's. I have a passion for student and staff wellness.
