Section A: Core Questions
1. What modification does the schools Board of Directors want to make to
the term(s) of the charter? Identify the page number(s) on which the term(s)
is/are stated in the currently approved charter. If the term(s) of the charter
the school wants to modify is/are conditions placed on the charter by the
Secretary of Education and members of the State Board of Education, state
the condition(s) and the date(s) on which the condition(s) was/were placed
on the schools charter.
Kuumba Academy is currently seeking a minor charter modification to increase
our student enrollment by 14.9% from our currently approved enrollment of 640
students in grades K to 8, to a total of 735 students grades K to 8. Our current
grade level configuration was submitted to the Department of Education in
section 5.2a, of our 2013 Charter Renewal. If approved, our new enrollment
breakdown will be as follows:

3. The authorizer will review your most recent Performance Review Reports
as part of your application. Discuss the schools academic performance,

compliance with the terms of its charter, and financial viability as measured
by the Performance Framework.
Over the past several years, KACS has made significant progress in closing the
urban achievement gap. This highlights the hard work and dedication of our
students, parents, faculty, and staff. It is our expectation that student growth and
achievement will continue to be an area in which our school continues to improve
as we work to adjust to the more rigorous academic expectations of the Common
Core State Standards.
The original purpose of Kuumba Academy Charter School (KACS) was to
establish a high-performing public elementary community school in the City of
Wilmington with significant parent involvement through a unique non-profit/ public
school partnership. Our 13-year track record of success helping students to
achieve high levels of academic performance, despite the prevalence of poverty
among students and families in the surrounding school community, is one of
Kuumbas greatest strengths.
Innovative instructional approaches in math, and consistent implementation of
researchbased strategies in reading have enabled KACS students to
outperform their peers in Wilmington schools. While the SBAC assessment has
raised the bar for student achievement and our students are not yet
outperforming the state in all grade levels, we are confident that with continued
support and additional time with our well trained staff will ensure that our
students are once again positioned to demonstrate significant gains in reading
and math.
For the 2014-2015 school year, KACS implemented a rigorous ELA curriculum
from Engage NY in all grades. This curriculum aligns with our Expeditionary
Learning Core practices and focuses on more critical thinking and problem
solving. As teachers become more confident with implementation of this new
curriculum, it is expected that our student performance including our lowest
performing student population will continue to increase.
As the graphs in Table 2a and 2b highlight, Kuumba Academy students are
outperforming the district run and local charter schools where our students live.

Page 6 of 9!
KACS has always strived to show improvement in our school compared to similar
schools with similar student compositions. KACS students are outperforming
their peers in many district schools.
Kuumba Academy recognizes the foundation of student achievement is reading
and math literacy. We are deeply committed to ensuring that every child is on the
path for college and career readiness. As outlined in our model, KACS is focused
on student centered instructional practices. Kuumba empowers students and
families to create a plan to help every child reach their full academic potential. All
KACS students have an individual improvement plan (IIP) that outlines their
specific learning targets and roadmap for success. Classroom teachers utilize
benchmark assessment data and standards-based mastery trackers to identify
students who are in need of additional academic support or interventions in
order to meet defined growth targets. Examples of assessments used to monitor
progress include: STEP, NWEAs MAPs assessment, Smarter Balanced
Assessment Consortium (SBAC), Amplify Interim Assessments and teacher
created assessments
Kuumba Academy has been found to be in compliance with the terms of our
original charter. Historical data demonstrates that Kuumba Academy continues
to make progress towards our commitment to eliminate and reverse the
achievement gap while improving educational outcomes for students in the City
of Wilmington.
4. Describe the rationale for the request(s). Discuss any relevant research base
or evidence that supports this type of request. (Attachments may be provided)

This minor modification will enable us to continue to support our current student
enrollment of 644 students while adding an additional 92 Kindergarten students
in 2016-2017. Our commitment is to begin support students as early as possible
so they may have the benefit of our rigorous academic and arts enriched
curriculum from Kindergarten.
5. Describe how the proposed modification will impact the operation of the
school. Include how student achievement, staffing, facilities, and financial

viability of the school may be impacted in the current school year and for
the remainder of the schools charter term.
If approved, the minor modification would allow us to continue to have 4 sections
of homerooms in grades K to 2 while adding an additional section of 3rd, 4th and
5th grade. The overall impact of this expansion would enable us to grow the
teaching staff by 3 members and will enable us to continue to have homerooms
with an average ratio of 1:22.
The financial documents found in Appendix A provide additional detail regarding
the financial impact of this minor modification.
Page 7 of 9!
6. Indicate the projected impact, if any, of the proposed modification on the
schools present financial position, and its financial position going forward.
If the modification promises to create financial challenges, indicate how
those will be remedied.
The schools financial future is secure. Our school has met or exceeded
enrollment expectations for each of the last three years. A waiting list is
maintained in the event of any unexpected openings. Every financial decision
the school makes is based on sound and planned reasoning. Both the Board of
Directors and the CBOC are involved in every decision.
As an expanding organization, the greatest challenge that we face is the largely
continuously changing charter landscape in Delaware. Each year brings new
regulations, requirements and expectations. The Board of Directors is deeply
committed to the ongoing success of our organization. As challenges arise, we
will work as a collective to ensure that the students and families of KACS are
provided access to a high-quality program.
KACS has always strived to be in compliance with all DOE requirements. We
plan to continue this practice. We have strong internal capacity to continue to
meet all organization expectations. Our leadership team, school board and staff
strive to ensure that we are considered an exceptional organization.
