OMA Advisory Opinion (#OOG-2025-0026) - Board of Trustees for I Dream PCS

On October 29, 2025, Director Allen issued an Advisory Opinion #OOG-2025-0026, in response to a complaint which alleged that I Dream Public Charter School Board (“I Dream PCSB,” or the “Board”) has not provided meeting location or links to its meetings and the last meeting minutes was published in December 2024. The Board relinquished its Charter at the end of School Year 2024-2025 and is not in operation. The Director recognized that the allegation in the Complaint is moot but decided to address the matter and issue the Advisory Opinion for the benefit of the stakeholders of active Boards of Trustees for Public Charter Schools, and should I Dream PCSB resume operation under a new Charter Agreement.

Director Allen found that I Dream PCSB violated the OMA by not (1) providing location or login information and links to its meetings and (2) posting its January 8, 2025, meeting minutes within the statutorily required three (3) days on I Dream PCS’ website and/or Central Meeting Calendar (“CMC”). The Advisory Opinion takes notice that prior to relinquishing its Charter, the Board corrected the issues in part, by posting its 2025 meetings minutes on the school’s website and the Chairperson, in response to the Complaint, stated her resolve to ensure that all links to the Board’s meetings will be published in a timely manner.
