Subject: Update

Dear Colleagues,

We have overcome a major roadblock to our progress.

Last night, the School Board agreed, in an executive session, to give us more time to develop and secure a university partner. The details of this extension will be memorialized in a letter from Tisha Edwards. Without knowing the details of the extension, we have a green light to:

1) officially delay the opening of BCSB to SY 2015/16;
2) Negotiate with Tisha Edwards for support of our principal during the planning year; and
3) Re-engage our fundraising and school planning efforts.

I am very hopeful that City Schools will change its position on the conditions requirement requested by the Federal DoE. City Schools, BCSB and lawyers from DoE will discuss the conditions statement during a conference call tentatively scheduled for June 4th.

We have worked long and hard as a team for this positive outcome. I'm very confident that we can reach our new milestone(s) and stay on pace to open a great school.

Thank you and stand-by for further updates and potential times for our next board meeting.

With deep gratitude,

Jack
