State Board makes two appointments to Charter Review Board

By News

The State Board of Education has made two new appointments to North Carolina’s Charter Schools Review Board (CSRB).

Statute creating the CSRB gives the State Board of Education (SBE) the authority to appoint two voting members. As you may know, the CSRB has the authority to approve, renew, and revoke charters for charter schools in North Carolina. CSRB is also charged with making recommendations to the State Board of Education for rules impacting charter schools.

At its June meeting earlier this month, SBE voted to approve these two CSRB members:

  • Eric Sanchez: SBE appointed Mr. Sanchez to the CSRB in 2023, and his term is nearing its end. At its June meeting, SBE approved a second term for Mr. Sanchez, which will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029. He is the founder and CEO of Henderson Collegiate, a public charter school in Henderson, North Carolina.
  • Eric Guckian: SBE also approved the appointment of Eric Guckian to the CSRB. He will serve out the remainder of Alex Quigley’s unexpired term, which ends on June 20, 2027. Mr. Guckian is currently the president and CEO of the United Way of the Greater Triangle. Read his bi0. He has considerable experience working on education reform and charter school issues.

Congratulations to these two charter leaders on their CSRB appointments!
