Prior the completion of the New Douglass, we will need additional space to house Douglass upper grades. This vote is to approve a lease with the Christian Fellowship Center for use of their classroom space for the first half of the 2021-22 school year. This space is unique in that it is adjacent to the New Douglass and Fisher College, allowing us to use it together with Fisher to house one group of scholars.
