Lottery Update
Lottery went well. Had 20 parents show up even though results were not released until the next week, as all participating schools must release results at the same time.
Kwende is the board member getting trained.
He has gotten the background check done and has gone down to APS. APS just let us know that all is good and Kwende can proceed with the training.
