RAMONA — Sun Valley Charter High School teachers, parents and students didn’t get the answer they were hoping for at an impassioned board meeting Thursday night, but trustees proposed a remedy for the five-year-old school’s chronic budget problems and to keep the school open.

The Sun Valley board voted unanimously to hire a Ramona-based certified financial planner to prepare a comprehensive report detailing the charter school’s financial situation.

The report, expected to be ready in mid-January, will be used by the Ramona Unified School District to determine if the school is fiscally sound, and by Imagine Schools Inc., a non-profit charter school operator that runs 39 schools in ten states, to decide if it will incorporate the school into its operation.

Trustees have said the school’s financial troubles are the result of a lack of funding because of low enrollment. In 2003, Ramona Superintendent Peter Schiff recommended that the district revoke the school’s charter, citing “fiscal management and a failure to meet generally accepted accounting principles,” but trustees voted 4-1 not to revoke the charter, saying they wanted to give the district’s sole charter school the chance to succeed.

Many attendees at the meeting said they had hoped trustees would give them a definitive answer about the fate of the school. At least one teacher told the board that the staff members deserved to know whether the school would remain open and if they would still have jobs after the semester ends Jan. 25.

“We need to know,” history teacher Mike French said. “We have to look out for ourselves. I understand (the board) is under the gun, but (teachers) may need to be looking for jobs.”

Nothing concrete has been decided, but if Imagine takes over the governance of the school, it will also pay off the school’s debts, and eventually new facilities for the school, Sun Valley board President Helene Radzik said.

As of Thursday, Sun Valley …
