II. Action Agenda
II.1. Request by Arkansas Military and First Responders Academy to Voluntarily Transfer Charter to Exalt Academy
Presenter: Darrell Smith, Assistant Commissioner
The board voted unanimously to approve the Arkansas Military and First Responders Academy’s (AMFA) request to transfer its charter to Exalt Academy. The decision was based on AMFA’s recent financial instability and the determination that continued independent operation was no longer viable. Exalt Academy was identified as a capable receiving entity for the charter.
Following this action, the board was required to vote on whether to review the Charter Authorizing Panel’s recommendation regarding the transfer. A motion “not to review” was introduced by board member Miss Woods and seconded by Miss Hunter. The motion passed unanimously, thereby affirming the panel’s recommendation without initiating a formal review process. This approval authorizes Exalt Academy to assume operational control of AMFA for the remainder of the academic year.
