Taryn Burgess Resignation from the Scholarship Prep Board of Directors
Assistant to the Executive Director Arthur Congo read Mrs. Burgess resignation email into the record as follows:
I do feel that I need to resign from the Scholarship Prep Public Schools Board effective immediately. I am working long hours at a school and have taken a mentor/ chair position in addition to teaching full-time. I am also doing a lot of tutoring to assist students in reaching grade level standards. I regret that I have not been more available over the last 9 months or so.
I have truly enjoyed my time with SPPS. It was an honor and privilege that I will forever be grateful for. I have learned a lot and grown. I am so proud of the entire SPPS Team. I know that wonderful and exciting things are ahead. I will continue to be an advocate for school choice.
Thank you to each and every member of the outstanding SPPS team for working on behalf of the scholars and families. I wish the absolute best for each student, parent, family, teacher, staff member, Administrator, Leadership Team member, Executive Team member and Board Member.
Sincerely,
Taryn Burgess
