Oxnard 学区董事会 10 月 28 日表决是否吊销 Ruelas 双语学院特许办学资格
位于加州文图拉县的 Oxnard 联合高中学区董事会定于 10 月 28 日（周三）举行公开听证并表决，决定是否吊销 Dr. Ernesto S. Ruelas 双语学院的特许办学资格。听证与表决将于当天傍晚 5 时在 Oxnard 表演艺术中心（800 Hobson Way, Oxnard）举行。
学区董事会 10 月 22 日已表决通过启动吊销程序。这所特许学校由曾任学区管理人员的 Dr. Ernesto S. Ruelas 与多名教师于 2021 年创办，采用西班牙语与英语双语教学模式，在校生约半数是移民农场工人的子女。吊销程序自今年 8 月启动以来，已有约 100 名家长、学生与社区成员到场抗议，另有约 800 人在请愿书上签名反对吊销。
学区方面列出的理由包括：该校学生在加州州级考试中的成绩显著低于学区与全州平均水平；校舍为租用的教会园区，缺乏科学实验室与图书馆等设施；以及学校财政状况堪忧，包括招生人数下降、结构性赤字与超支。按学区公布的议程，当天的听证将听取公众意见，随后由董事会表决是否正式吊销其特许资格。
校方与支持者则对学区的说法提出异议。学校方面表示，该校学生在加州科学测验（CAST）中已取得显著进步，出勤率高于学区平均水平，并质疑学区所用数据的准确性。农场工人联合工会（UFW）共同创办人 Dolores Huerta 已致信声援该校。表决结果将于听证结束后公布。
Oxnard School Board to Vote Oct. 28 on Revoking Ruelas Bilingual Academy Charter
The Board of Trustees of the Oxnard Union High School District, in Ventura County, California, is scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on Wednesday, October 28, on whether to revoke the charter of Dr. Ernesto S. Ruelas Bilingual Academy. The hearing and vote are set for 5 p.m. at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800 Hobson Way in Oxnard.
The board voted on October 22 to move forward with the revocation process. The charter school was founded in 2021 by Dr. Ernesto S. Ruelas, a former district administrator, together with a group of teachers. It teaches in both Spanish and English, and about half of its students are children of migrant farmworkers. Since the process began in August, about 100 parents, students and community members have protested, and roughly 800 people have signed a petition opposing revocation.
District officials cite the school's state test scores, which they say are significantly below district and state averages; its campus, a leased church site without science labs or a library; and its finances, including declining enrollment, a structural deficit and overspending. Under the published agenda, the board will hear public comment before voting on whether to revoke the charter.
School leaders and supporters dispute the district's account. They say students have made significant gains on the California Science Test (CAST), attendance is above the district average, and the district's data is inaccurate. Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers, has sent a letter supporting the school. The result will be announced after the hearing.
