Western Christian Schools' Superintendent Karen Winter addressed Western Christian Schools' acquisition of certain assets of Upland Christian Schools in an interview Thursday.
Upland Christian Schools are supervised by the Upland First Church of the Nazarene, which is located on the same property as Upland Christian Schools. Western Christian Schools are supervised by Western's administration.
"Pending this all goes through they would become an independent school with us," Winter said. "That is the biggest major difference - Western will be the leadership."
Winter said the Upland First Church can remain on campus as long as they need to even once escrow closes.
Winter said she was not present at Wednesday's meeting at Upland Christian Schools.
"I think that the intention, [Doane's] intention, and the district's intention would be a partnership with Upland Christian Schools so we can see Upland Christian as a viable entity in the future - to see the school system continue on," she said.
The news of the acquisition was to be shared with parents of students enrolled at Western Christian Schools in November, Winter said. She did not know when parents of students enrolled at Upland Christian Schools would have formally been told.
"The parents [of students at Western Christian] knew we had been looking and working on options," she said. "We were going to share this with them when things were more final. We want to make sure all the information was ready and correct and the best decision for the school. We needed time to do that and we are still in the process of doing that."
