Dear BVA Families,

We are thrilled to share that the BVA Charter Renewal Petition for 2026-2031 has been finalized. Our Leadership Team has worked diligently to prepare a comprehensive petition that reflects the incredible achievements of our students, staff, and families over the past five years.

The renewal petition will be submitted to Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE) on February 17, 2026, with an anticipated presentation to their board for approval in April.

Mark Your Calendars: Join us for our next BVA Town Hall with Leadership on Monday, February 24 at 8:15 AM in the Shark Tank at the Upper School campus. This is a great opportunity to connect with leadership, ask questions, and stay informed about what's happening at BVA.

Together, we continue to build a strong foundation for our students' success.

With appreciation,

The BVA Leadership Team
