194 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1424 Jim Parker:A condition that we could set and take with us is that there would be consideration for shared parking.... <br /> 1425 <br /> 1426 Adam Beeman: I had a question about the articulation agreement... <br /> 1427 <br /> 1428 Melissa Poole: I know what this is...there are currently two charter schools in Hillsborough.There is the Expedition <br /> 1429 school and there is Eno River Academy. My children went to TEF and once they reached the 8th grade, there is an <br /> 1430 articulation agreement for the high school.You can have articulation agreements for charter schools. <br /> 1431 <br /> 1432 Overlapping conversations about seats available for transfer at various schools and articulation agreements. <br /> 1433 <br /> 1434 A letter from Joey Webb was read by a representative from the charter school. <br /> 1435 <br /> 1436 Statler Gilfillen:What are we actually approving tonight?This is about a piece of property with a school on it. It could be <br /> 1437 any kind of school on this site. If it is a private school then the developer has rights about who is allowed to go into that <br /> 1438 school, right? <br /> 1439 <br /> 1440 Patrick Byker: If for some reason this became a site for Durham Academy,then that private school admission process by <br /> 1441 law prohibits discrimination. <br /> 1442 <br /> 1443 Statler Gilfillen: If this were a private school, unlike a charter school then all of the neighbors and immediate property <br /> 1444 owners around this property,that school could offer special compensation to them if they had children who wanted to <br /> 1445 come there and could walk there. That could be hypothetically possible, right? <br /> 1446 <br /> 1447 Patrick Byker:The down side is they would have to pay. <br /> 1448 <br /> 1449 Statler Gilfillen:Yes but they could also offer a discount to the immediate property owners. <br /> 1450 <br /> 1451 Overlapping conversations <br /> 1452 <br /> 1453 Chris Johnston:We can't consider that it is a charter school,we can't consider that it is a public school, all we can <br /> 1454 consider is that it is a school, but does that matter for capacity? If the argument is that we are serving capacity for the <br /> 1455 local school system and this is a school that potentially pulls from outside the county, is that anything that we can <br /> 1456 consider or is that considering a charter school? <br /> 1457 <br /> 1458 Patrick Byker: My understanding is no. <br /> 1459 <br /> 1460 Beth Bronson:There was no hydraulic survey done,just the wells...correct?Taking all of this in and taking the public <br /> 1461 comments, I have a couple of conditions that I would propose to the board. <br /> 1462 <br /> 1463 Melissa Poole: Don't forget the conditions outlined. <br /> 1464 <br /> 1465 1.
