Update on the news:

The backers of GreenTek Career Academy, a proposed charter school, have appealed to the state Board of Education after being rejected by the Rockford School Board.

The school has proposed a curriculum focused on the environment and technology to prepare young people for green-collar jobs.

It was turned down last month because members were concerned that Comprehensive Community Solutions already operates a school in its YouthBuild program. Charter school law says a charter won’t be granted “that would convert any existing private, parochial or nonpublic school to a charter school.”
