Cannon Beach Academy now shoots for 2017
cation at the upcoming district
board meeting in August.
The district denied the
academy based on certain
conditions, interim Execu-
tive Director Ryan Hull said,
but did not accept or deny the
academy’s charter application.
“I would love to have a
denial with reasons to move
forward,” Hull said. “We are
still in limbo.”
If the district denies the
academy’s application , Hull
said , the academy would
examine the reasons and could
resubmit their application to
the district or state.
After the district’s March
withdrawal of conditional
approval, Cannon Beach
Academy submitted an appeal
to the state and then rescinded
it after the Oregon Depart-
ment of Education asked the
two parties to negotiate, board
members said.

CANNON BEACH — In
March, the Seaside School
District withdrew its condi-
tional approval for Cannon
Beach Academy to open this
fall. After a now-canceled
appeal to the state, the char-
ter school’s board members
are preparing for next fall by
working with the district and
maintaining local support.
“We want to work with
the Seaside School District,”
board president Kellye Dewey
said at a board meeting last
week.
Board members, aiming for
a September 2017 opening,
hope the district will approve
the academy’s charter appli-

resentatives met in June and
discussed budgets, students
per class, out-of-district stu-
dents and grants.
The academy “applied for a
large federal grant and scored
very well” but was denied the
grant, since schools with an
approved charter application
are considered fi rst, the acad-
emy stated in a public update.
The district offered to
write a letter of support the
academy could use in grant
applications.
“A letter would give us a
better opportunity to get the
grants,” Hull said.

One condition required the
school have all funds needed
for the 2016-17 school year in
the bank and a 10-percent con-
tingency, amounting to a little
more than $450,000. The dis-
trict stated that the academy
had $145,798.
The district did not account
for the funding it would pro-
vide, Hull said Monday, and
it is “not precedent” to have
Oregon charter schools come
up with the entire fi rst year’s
budget.
The academy plans to
update its English Language
Learning program to meet new
state requirements.
Cannon Beach Academy
was formed in 2013, once
community members learned
the district would close Can-
non Beach Elementary that
year for fi nancial reasons.
“When we signed on, we
didn’t think we would still be
sitting here,” board member
Barb Knop said.

SUNDAY
In 2014, the district denied
the academy’s proposals. Last
year, some district teachers
spoke in opposition to the acad-
emy, concerned about funding
for other district schools.
The district approved the
academy, with conditions, in
October. Under the conditions,
the school would serve at least
44 kindergarten and fi rst-grade
students its fi rst year. More
grades could be added over
time.
In March, the district
revoked conditional approval,
stating that the academy fell
short on funding, enrollment
and a state-approved English
Language Learning program.
The district refused an exten-
sion of the March deadline
or to modify or eliminate the
conditions.
The academy responded
that the district “erected arti-
fi cial barriers” to the charter
school.

Members of the Muck-

Last year was the fi rst time
since 1993 that there wasn’t
a Puget Sound tribal journey,
which attracts Native Amer-
ican peoples from as far as
Alaska and Canada.
For the journeys, tribes
throughout the Northwest
gather a team of pullers. They
leave their own shores in
canoes and visit other tribal
lands as they make their way
to the host tribe’s land.
On Saturday, canoes
were expected to arrive at
the Port of Olympia land-
ing, where they will be
greeted by members of the
Nisqually Tribe.
