Quest: We'll Prove Renewing Charter is Right Choice for Peoria

Quest Charter Academy's leaders say they'll prove to the Peoria Public Schools Board that it deserves to continue. 

This comes after the school board approved a conditional 2-year rechartering Monday. 

The charter school said because its rechartering application was intended for a full five-year renewal instead of two years, it needs better understand the situation before it comments further. The school didn't weigh in on Superintendent Dr. Sharon-Desmoulin Kherat's arguments that the school violated state and federal education laws in its statement. 

The District 150 school board will shape that 2-year agreement. It's likely to pop up for a vote next spring.
