Friday MM - February 26th

Good Morning - Week "B"

I have news to share from EL Education;

• Congratulations! The final vote indicates 89% on the attached survey, however, I am reporting it as 93% since there was an error in the survey where people who left comments did not get calculated in the numbers. So you really had 45/48 clearly in favor of moving forward with EL.

• I will keep you posted on the results of the national partnership committee. We will be notifying all schools by March 1st. 

Best- M
