In Plan 8 they go to LM because they are in the PW-Ardmore zone.

Yes. That is correct. I realize that ABC house has a strong connection at LM and I am a person who has put his money where his mouth is in terms of children in need. 111at is how I ended up with five instead of four

children. Jesse was a student in Cheltenham who I met when he was in crisis. That being said-- the education of ABC house students is a

generous contribution that this community makes to children in need. I don't see the needs of those children rising above the need of residents

and] know that they will be well cared for at Harriton.

I now have six okays on the new timeline

That's good to hear. Not the same for PW-Ardmore whieh is a very non-mixed community and includes ABC house which really really has a connection with LM .

I see thanks. BTW-- I worked with Ross this morning on Seen #8. There are no options around the PV -Ardmore section. The only good news is that the section of PV-Ardmore is not predominantly one race. It is a very very

• mixed community

• I will fix the start date for the public comment period. I am assuming that we will deliberate after the l Sth. ZI can make not of that for the bd timeline.

Two yes so far.

David is opposed to having Harris here on Monday but I,think we need him. I will make him do 10 minutes only.

Looks good to me.

I would add Tuesday December 2nd and note that the Public Comment period lor Plan 3 opens and will run December 2-12. We are not having our public comment meeting until the 8th and the way it is presented, it looks like we collapsed the public comment period for Plan 3 to 4 days .

• Also. don't we need some time for Board dehberation starting on the 15th or will that all occur on January 12?

Thanks, Chris.

Good Afternoon,

Plan A was the choice of the vast majority of members pf

the Board with some concern raised about bringing a plan our on the Monday of Thanksgiving week (Ted is nol available that evening)lf we bring out

then bring out the new plan on December 1 we would have only two weeks between the time that we share the plan and the time that we would adopt

the plan. That tirueline would create problems. Once we move past the 15 th of December we really have to wait to adopt the plan in January. The

first Monday is January 5 and the first day back from winter break. I

think that approving the plan that evening would present problems. That brings us to January 12th as the approval date. I addressed this

possibility with principals of the middle and high schools. They can

make course selection work with this new date but delaying any further will create some real concerns. J am looking for your approval of the revised Plan A below. If it meets with your collective approval we will publicize the revised plan tomorrow through the Thursday folders and the HSA list serves.

Chris
