While Monona Mayor Robb Kahl was initially hopeful his proposal for an environmental charter school in Monona could be realized by the start of the next school year, additional research into the process has revealed that such a timeline is not possible. After an informal meeting of interested stakeholders, April 6, it appears the Monona Grove school district will need at least two years to develop and open a charter school, possibly more, in addition to a core group of dedicated teachers and community members who will lead this demanding task.
“We need to be clear on the reality of the timeline,” said District Superintendent Craig Gerlach. Goals must be set for the school, followed by planning of curriculum and the eventual task of making that curriculum a reality. While he is supportive of the proposal, he noted that all of those necessary steps are, in themselves, very complex.

Which charter school are you referring to? The alternative charter high school or the "save maywood at all cost" charter school?
This post and the link to the Herald-Independent article are referring to the "green" charter middle school that was proposed for Winnequah. This would be the second option mentioned in your post.
