Russ Kiefer hand delivered the 400+ page petition to Fulton County Schools on Weds, Feb 24. It included over 73,300 words, 4,500 paragraphs and weighed in at 6 lb. 2 oz.!!! Check out the CHCS Facebook page at www.facebook.com/chatthillscharterschool and read the petition to learn all about the proposed CHCS at http://tiny.cc/3O4E3.
We want to thank everyone who worked so hard these past months. We want to specifically highlight the efforts of our incredible project team lead by super-star John Reid, now officially the CHCS Governing Board Chairman. Integral to researching, creating and completing the charter petition were the many project team leaders including Russ Kiefer, Lindsey Mosby, Rebecca Williams, Ross Williams, Lisa Babb, Chip Kohlweiler, Jon Neiditz, Monica Olsen, Steve Hurwitz, Steve Nygren, Laurie Searle, Jennifer Ripper and Christina Purdue. This is only a small fraction of the dozens of people who helped out, putting in tireless hours and giving selflessly of themselves to this heroic effort petitioning for the proposed new charter school for the families of Chattahoochee Hills and South Fulton.
This is only the beginning of our journey together, as the petition is the 2nd major milestone to building the proposed CHCS. We are still waiting on pins and needles to hear in March about the GA DOE’s final decision on our Planning Grant Application. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, the project team invites you to join us for a celebratory potluck this Saturday at 4 pm in the community of Serenbe at the Grange trampoline. Beer provided, bring a dish to share, your own picnic supplies and any other beverages you would like.
A big thank-you to everyone who worked with and supported us through these past months!
Hope to see you Saturday!!
The CHCS Project Team
