6A • August 26, 2016 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com Academy asks district for approved charter Academy aims for approval without conditions the charter approval, Cannon Beach Academy stated in an Aug. 19 mes- sage. “If you have an approved charter, versus an approved with conditions charter, you have an exponentially better chance of getting grants and awards,” the academy’s interim ex- ecutive director Ryan Hull said at the August district board meeting. “What that doesn’t do is remove things that you want us to be held accountable for.” Cannon Beach Academy can apply for Oregon Department of Education charter school implemen- tation grants that will be available By Lyra Fontaine Cannon Beach Gazette In order to qualify for grants and gain more inancial security, Cannon Beach Academy needs the Seaside School District’s approval of its char- ter application without conditions, school leaders said. The conditions can be addressed during contract negotiations after ‘It sounds like we are on the same page and moving forward.’ Steve Phillips Seaside School District boardmember in spring. Seaside School District expects to resolve the charter appli- cation before the grant application period, Superintendent Sheila Roley said. “I think we as a board see the ur- gency of getting those things done,” district board member Steve Phillips said. “It sounds like we are on the same page and moving forward.” The academy met with Roley prior to the board meeting. “We’ve been in good communica- tion and trying to move to the best out- come for all of our kids,” Roley said. The district approved the academy in October under conditions, such as that the school would serve at least 44 kindergarten and irst-grade students in its irst year. In March, the district withdrew conditional approval, stating that the academy fell short on funding, enrollment and a state-approved En- glish Language Learning program. The academy will be working Former planning commissioner now a council candidate Ogilvie serves on afordable housing task force By Lyra Fontaine Cannon Beach Gazette Brandon Ogilvie, a for- mer Cannon Beach Planning Commission chairman and a member of the city’s afford- able housing task force, will run for City Council in No- vember. Ogilvie is a self-employed carpentry con- tractor, a career that has helped him grasp land use. Brandon “My job as Ogilvie a builder helps me understand certain land use issues,” he said. While serving on the Plan- ning Commission, Ogilvie said he enjoyed “the process of civic participation.” Ogilvie said it is important for residents to speak out on is- sues that affect them. “I’m a champion of civic participation on both sides, not just the people that are in city government but actual citizens that live here,” he said. “Even if it’s just a letter, it gets put into the record.” Affordable housing is one issue that interests him, though he said there are “no simple an- swers.” Before Ogilvie became a carpenter and builder, he was a bartender at local restaurants like Bill’s Tavern for more than a decade. “It was a good way to meet people,” he said. Drawn to the beach from the Seattle area, Ogilvie has lived in Cannon Beach for 24 years. He has raised his daughter in town. “I think I have appreciation for parents and their needs,” he said. “We no longer have a school here, which is a shame.” There will be two open seats on the council. Ogilvie and two other residents, Herb Florer and Nancy McCarthy, have iled to run. The iling deadline for can- didates is Aug. 30. High lead levels isolated at schools, school district taking action By Lyra Fontaine Cannon Beach Gazette High lead levels were found at a sink faucet at Seaside High School and a hose at Gearhart Elementary School after test- ing in June. The two problem spots were among 39 locations test- ed for lead. The sink faucet was at the Seaside High School conces- sions stand and has since been replaced, district maintenance supervisor Glendon Ely said. The water is undergoing re- testing and results are expect- ed in several months. The faucet was not used for drinking but was tested be- cause of potential food prepa- ration or dishwashing use. Above-limit lead levels were also found in a hose in the Gearhart Elementary boil- er room. No action was needed because it was a control sam- ple, Ely said. The water is used to clean the boiler room.
