Nothing like mixing great people and great baseball ⚾

This month, Charter Impact teamed up with Baker Tilly US and MarshMcLennan to host an incredible Charter School Night at Petco Park.

Grateful for the relationships we get to build in this work, and moments like these that remind us why it matters. (Also… not a bad view from Suite #7.) Less spreadsheets, more connection! Big thanks to Tahj Haywood, CLCS, M. Ed. and Brenda C. Bock, CPA, MBA for the collaboration.

Charter Impact is proud to celebrate the progress of our client, Blue Oak Charter School, as they embark on an exciting journey to build their new campus at Meriam Park in Chico!

This milestone represents more than just a new location; it’s a step towards a "forever home" that aligns with Blue Oak's vision of fostering growth and creativity in an inspiring environment. With funding from Measure K, this campus will prioritize nature, outdoor play, and a commitment to enriching the education of students from preschool through eighth grade.

As their back-office partner, we are thrilled to see Blue Oak turning their dreams into reality. We can’t wait to see the plans come to life as they work with architects to design a space that embodies their innovative spirit.

Congratulations to Susan Domenighini and the entire Blue Oak team for this significant achievement! 🎉
