Ceiba invites all families to its charter renewal hearing before the PVUSD Board of Trustees on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at 5:30 PM in the PVUSD Board Room (275 Main St, 6th Floor, Watsonville, CA 95076). Head of School Josh Ripp will present Ceiba's story, followed by trustee questions and an opportunity for community members to speak in support of our school. The PVUSD Board will vote on renewal at a later meeting, before September 30, 2026. The PVUSD Board's decision must be based on Ceiba's academic performance under the California School Dashboard, and Ceiba's 2025 results show strong, sustained progress: chronic absenteeism cut nearly in half (21.7% to 11.9%), suspension rates down over 80% (6.6% to 1.2%), English learner progress up nearly 15 points (40.9% to 55.8%), a 100% graduation rate, and college and career readiness climbing from 57.4% to 79.6%, Ceiba's strongest year yet.
