Marie (Joseph K. Lumsden Bahweting) request to expand to the ninth grade. Each of these documents are time sensitive in nature and require your signature of approval. According to the MOU we entered into the the Dept. of Ed, we have a defined timeline to publish the FRN, which was on Monday. In addition, the Sault Ste. Marie school begins classes next week. Any support that you could provide to us regarding these two matters would be greatly and truly appreciated. Thank you. Tony L.
