"This does not mean, however, that applications must be perfect to be awarded a charter."

Well, you said it, Commissioner Riley, not me.


The above is taken from Commissioner Riley's recommendation that the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education approve the application for the Worcester Cultural Academy Charter School, in a letter which makes no acknowledgement of nor any response to the substantive and significant issues with the proposal raised by public testimony in Worcester, the video of which is here.

And so here we are. 

I am irate, but let's for now stick to facts.
You can find the agenda with relevant documents here. 
There's a special meeting of the Board Monday evening, which is virtual and only deliberation, at 5 pm.

The meeting of the Board at 9 am on Tuesday morning is live in Malden at the Department. At that meeting, they will take public testimony (if signed up ahead of time and with limited time) and vote.

The Board, for what it's worth, can be reached through information here
