Patricia stated that the NCN board discussed the renewal of the Kindezi Academy Innovation Agreement with IPS through an executive session. The innovation agreement ends at the end of this school year. IPS and OEI had agreed to extend the contract for one year. 

Kevin stated that Jamie VanDewalle with IPS has stated that if NCN would decide to close the Kindezi building, IPS would be offering those students seats at a choice program. They will have the opportunity to attend high performing schools with transportation starting with the 22-23 school year. This would help achieve the ultimate educational equity that NCN has ultimately been striving for. NCN would do its part in making sure that the Kindezi students and families are aware of their choices and guide them through the next process. Having the students at Kindezi Academy attend these schools of choice is the best possible outcome. This would give IPS the time to plan and engage the community stakeholders in order for the area schools to be successful. NCN would be partner with IPS in this effort. 

Patricia thanked IPS, the NCN board, and Kevin for their participation in ensuring that the students that would be coming back next school year at Kindezi will be assured to attend a choice school and transportation.
