As we developed this program, we realized that it needed to be placed in a mainstream <br />setting in order to give students a normalized environment with students who do not have disabilities. <br /> <br />We were very fortunate to linkup with Family Academy as a partner in the delivery of this new program. <br />It is my understanding that the influx of our program may result in the need for additional instructional <br />space at the academy. <br /> <br />Thus, I am requesting the assistance of the City of Roseville relative to support for expansion proposals <br />at Family Academy Charter School. If you have questions please call me at 651-415-5658. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />~'L* v~ <br /> <br />Alan L.
