Charter School consultants draft feasibility report received by the Village Fielding Nair International and EdVisions Schools submitted a draft report to the Village administration for their review on December 31, 2008. Our request to the Village Manager to view the report was denied. Hopefully the report will be available to us and the entire community within the next few days. Report is expected to contain Information on potential locations, school's financials and consultants' views on how we can proceed with the charter school and Lifelong Learning Center Initiative.
We'll schedule an update meeting as soon as the information in the report is made available to us. |
Islander News - 2008 Newsmaker of the Year: A Key Biscayne High School.
... a Key Biscayne high school is the obvious choice for Islander News "Newsmaker of the Year" - and "it promises to remain a big story throughout 2009." "While the high school initiative in its current form really took off in 2008, the desire for a school is decades old and got its most recent revival in 2006, when then-Mayor Robert Oldakowski made it a focal point of his State of the Village Address." Read the Islander News report. |
