2021 Round 1
Letters of Intent
To Establish New Charter Schools

In response to the 2021 Request for Proposals issued in March, the Charter School ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ received six "letters of intent" to apply to establish a new charter school authorized by the Board of Regents. Of the six applicants, three are invited to submit a full application by the July 15th deadline.

• Innova Girls Academy Charter SchoolÌý
• Rochester Excellence Academy Charter SchoolÌýÌý
• Rochester Sports Academy Charter SchoolÌýÌý

Three letters of intent were not accepted for failure to sufficiently address the requirements set forth in the RFP; the letters of intent lacked sufficient evidence of outreach, proposed to serve pre-kindergarten which is not permissible under ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵLaw, and/or failed to submit the required background information for a minimum of 5 proposed members of the board of trustees.

• Bernie Glassman New Ventures Charter School
• New Rochelle Academy for Arts and Science Charter School
• Our Kids Place Charter School

Two letters of intent were ineligible due to a proposed location within NYC, where there are currently no remaining charters to be issued.

• New Generation Elementary Charter School
• The Whole Elephant Chinese Charter School
