The top priority of the El Camino Real Charter High School (ECRCHS) Governing 
Board is to pursue what is in the best interest of our students – always.  ECRCHS is 
one of the highest performing schools in Los Angeles.  Our stellar reputation has 
reached beyond the Southern California region resulting in statewide recognition of 
our students’ outstanding academic and extra-curricular achievements.   
 
In light of the recent media inquiry regarding LAUSD’s Notice to Cure from last 
October, the Board remains steadfast in our commitment to transparency and 
accountability to our authorizer and school community.   
 
ECRCHS is a new charter school constantly working to update our policies to comply 
with the ever-changing regulations applied to public schools. Many of the practices 
that we inherited from LAUSD, such as our reimbursement procedures, need to be 
updated, as they are insufficient for an independent public charter school.  
 
Similar to other charter schools and school districts, we continue to identify new 
ways to manage our school more efficiently and to work toward full compliance.  We 
have hired additional staff to assist with new accounting and compliance 
requirements and, as an extra measure of precaution; we will be working with an 
independent accountant. 
 
We are supportive of our Executive Director and our entire teaching, administrative 
and support staff, and we sincerely appreciate all of their efforts to move ECR 
forward and continually improve our school.  We are also grateful for our students,  
parents, community leaders and authorizer who continue to demonstrate their 
confidence in ECRCHS and the ECRCHS Governing Board. We are proud of yet 
another successful school year, and look forward to all the great things to come.
