Public comments:
Gertrude Agbontaen, Parent and Staff member - Thanked everyone for their hard work. She hasn't had an opportunity to examine Altitude. Some concern around the ability to translate especially for students studying Spanish. What is in place to support them right now? How long will the integration take? Also, asked about the student alumni program. How many fellows will be accepted?
