New item

Approval at the last board meeting that IHSNO will remain at the current facility. The goal is to remain in the building for a given amount of time.  New step is to approach Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB).

Contract and lease of the building is duration with our charter. There is 5 years remaining.

Next step will be for Sean to invite the Director of Eastbank Collaborative to the next Facility Committee Meeting. Based on his schedule we may consider having an impromptu meeting. Committee has questions regarding best options for IHSNO and how should we approach it? The board has decided to stay and how can you help us to achieve it.

Next Facilities Meeting is June 7, 2016 at 6pm. 

All of Orleans Parish School debt will be paid off by 2017.
