Santa Ana Unified Board Agrees To Renew Orange County School Of The Arts' Charter - If They Promise To Change It
The Orange County School of the Arts is a charter school with a reputation for rigorous academics and famous alumni in film, television, theater, and across the arts.
It has been in downtown Santa Ana for almost two decades, but at a Santa Ana Unified school board meeting Tuesday night, its future was up in the air.
If you have experience applying to or attending the school – or an arts-focused middle or high school like it – we want to hear from you. Please fill out the form below, or email reporter Carla Javier.
Reporter Carla Javier also joined KPCC's Take Two to discuss what happened when the Santa Ana Unified school board considered OCSA's charter renewal petition. You can listen to that conversation by clicking here.
