Update at close of school

EDUCATION IN TRANSITION 5/22/08 Update

Family and Friends,

We would like to bring you up to date on the process of transitioning People’s Christian Academy to a new location.

A transition board was elected early in May and we have been busy setting into motion different aspects of the process, the following is a listing of the progress to this point:

A prayer walk was conducted at the proposed site of the new school and interviews for a story, which ran in the Arnold Leader, on Monday, May 12^th. Many folks have reported an extremely positive feedback was received and prayers are being lifted on the school’s behalf.

An architect and mechanical contractor have been retained to conduct a feasibility study on the 4500 Jeffco Blvd building. On a preliminary basis, each have stated that the building is in excellent shape and can be retro-fitted for our desired use. The exact cost is pending at this time.

A meeting was held with the President of Jefferson College, their business manager and an EIT board member. It was concluded that both parties are very interested in completing a favorable transaction.

Three EIT board members met with Pastor Brooks today and are extremely excited to have built a bridge of cooperation. We continue to seek the Lord’s guidance for both the Church and the new school as we pray expectantly for the resources of the school to be transferred for the continued use for a quality Christian education in our area.

The most exciting news to report is that Rockport Baptist Church has granted us permission to begin the new school year in their facility. That is such a blessing for all of us; it means we have a location to continue our children’s education for the fall.

A meeting has been set with Fortune Bank to discuss funding for the building and all needs. We have had the President of the bank attend a parent meeting and he was extremely positive and encouraging about our endeavor.

While there is much to be completed, it is our faith in God’s plan for all of us, that we continue to move forward.

Attached you will find an enrollment form for the 2008-09 school year. Please make every effort to complete it and return to the transition team so that we can continue the curriculum processes required to be functioning in the fall. It has not been determined if your child’s records will be transferrable at this point. It may require a separate signed request by the parents to allow People’s to release the data, therefore, at this stage we will begin compiling a new record for enrollment purposes. Additionally, it is our desire and commitment to you, to keep the tuition costs unchanged. We thank you in advance for this data and pledge privacy to the greatest extent.

Be searching your hearts and seeking a method that you can be involved with the effort, no matter to what degree, seek a way to be involved, make an impact on your child’s education. We all have been blessed to have come this far, and we are excited for revelations of the next few months.
