The O’Farrell Charter School receives a six-year renewal
What happened
San Diego Unified approved a six-year renewal of The O’Farrell Charter School’s charter, covering July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2033. The board approved a six-year term rather than the seven years the school requested.
Why it matters to families
The decision continues the charter school’s district authorization while setting a shorter term than the school sought.
The evidence
At the Nov. 3, 2026 meeting, the board voted to approve staff’s recommendation for a six-year renewal, from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2033. Staff said O’Farrell was state-designated high-performing but received a six-year recommendation because its results across the district’s renewal criteria were mixed; a seven-year term required meeting all criteria in that category.
