Summit officials could have told the Summit Denali community about their financial troubles far earlier, according to parents, teachers and students.
At a sometimes heated meeting on Wednesday night, students, teachers and parents pressed local education officials and representatives from a Sunnyvale charter school for answers about the school’s potential closure this summer, urging them to make a definitive decision about the school’s future and asking for more transparency about its past.
“If it’s going to be closed, let us know now – the private school deadlines are complete, we’re on waiting lists for other charter schools. We have people calling us and asking, ‘are you going to attend our school next year?’” Harfijah Oliver, the parent of a Summit seventh grader, said. “We can’t even give them an answer because your board refuses to take action and is just drawing this out…it’s extremely disheartening. You are not here for our students.
But attendees at Wednesday night’s meeting were skeptical of the notion that nothing could have been done until now, saying that Summit officials had plenty of opportunities to warn the school’s stakeholders about its financial troubles before they reached a point of no return. Victoria Chon, president, listens to public comment regarding the planned closing of Summit Denali School at the Santa Clara County Office of Education board meeting in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2023. “I do understand the complexity and nuances and all the drivers that you’re looking at,” Oliver said. “But – and this saddens me to say – a lot of the forecasting could have been predictable, and you had so many missed opportunities to work in partnership with parents.
