<br />March 9, 2000 <br /> <br />Thomas Paschke <br />City of Roseville <br />Planning Commission <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />RE: Re-wning of Hamline Shopping Center <br /> <br />Dear Thomas: <br /> <br />The Family Academy Charter School has received sponsorship by ISD 916. <br />Superintendent Dr. Don Lifto has signed Affidavit of Intent to Sponsor our school, which <br />is scheduled to open the Fall of 2000, on behalf of ISD 916. <br /> <br />Family Academy's vision is to provide high quality academic education for grades K-8. It <br />is our intent to develop and implement programs involving the student, the parents and the <br />commuruty. <br /> <br />Over the past several months, we have attended and submitted our proposal to become a <br />charter school before both the Roseville District #623 and ISD 916. The Roseville School <br />Board graciously gave their recommendation to ISD 916 to sponsor us as a school. In fact, <br />Dr. John Thien of Roseville personally submitted a letter to Dr. Don Lifto ofISD 916, <br />reinforcing Roseville's position that Family Academy warranted the merits to become a <br />charter school. Jill Lund of Roseville District #623 serves as Roseville's board member on <br />ISD 916's board and has been fully supportive of Family Academy and its place in the <br />Roseville community. <br /> <br />It is our intent to occupy approximately 12,000 square feet of the existing Hamline <br />Shopping Center and commit to a seven (7) year lease. ISD 916 has agreed to sponsor <br />Family Academy for three (3) years at the outset, and will renew the committment every <br />two (2) years. In its initial year, Family Academy's enrollment will be approximately 129 <br />students. We have budgeted our enrollment to maximize up to 200 students in the next <br />two years. We will also consider leasing additional space from Kraus-Anderson as <br />enrollment increases. <br /> <br />tP <br />1- '\' <br />
