Charter School Votes To “Suspend Educational Operations”

Drowning in debt, unable to move onto the campus it leased, and facing revocation from its authorizer, NVMI (sort of) throws in the towel.

“All those individuals and organizations who have opposed NVMI are a matter of public record”

– NVMI “Superintendent” Mark Ryan

For weeks, the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) has been warning the North Valley Military Institute (NVMI) that it did not have the Certificate of Occupancy it needed to operate at the facility it leased in Van Nuys. Instead of recognizing its failure and informing its families that NVMI would not be opening for the new school year, the leadership at the charter publicly insisted that it had all the required permits. It also obstinately refused to meet with city officials to get their input on how to negotiate the permitting process. This gave LACOE no other choice but to issue (another) Notice of Violation threatening revocation of the charter if the outlined conditions are not rectified by August 30, 2023.
