Dave D. expressed his appreciation to the Trustees for taking the complaint seriously and acknowledged Attorney Toner’s efforts in conducting interviews, evaluating the facts, and reaching a well-reasoned conclusion.

Chris N. requested an update from Darshan T. on the lease and other ongoing negotiations with LFD. Darshan T. reported that, according to Dan H., several LFD Board members are currently away, and it may be up to two weeks before they can achieve a quorum and convene a meeting. Overall, LFD appears to agree with the proposed lease terms, with only one minor change that would not materially affect the agreement. Dan H. indicated that their attorney would reach out to Anthony C. regarding this adjustment.

Regarding the transfer of services for IT and custodial staff, Darshan T. explained that the school has hired all but two individuals, who are responsible for cleaning the LEAP space under an existing contract with LFD.

Chris N. inquired whether, once the school occupies the LEAP space, those individuals would be considered for rehire. Darshan T. responded that they would be given first consideration should they wish to return. The transition process is underway, with offer letters and benefits packages currently under review by Human Resources.

Dave D. also took the opportunity to welcome Sally-Ann Suckuls as the new Assistant Superintendent.
