THANK YOU for vour work on behalf of the Commonwealth in allowing us to create "break the mold" Charter Schools which will enhance the educational opportunities throughout the state. Thanks in particular to Jose .Afonso for providing assistance during this application process. Included with this application is a copy of a letter sent to our legislative liaison, Doug Ewing, regarding our request for exemption from MGL chapter 71 section 89, see Appendix A. The exemption we are seeking will allow children from the different Island towns to attend a regional charter school. This is a pressing need for the Island and a critical focus of the Martha's Vineyard Charter School. We hope this will not delay the processing of our application and that you will give careful deliberation to our status as an island For the purposes of this application we . would like the entire island to be considered as one town. We have broad based collective and individual support that details the need for a regional K-12 program on Martha's Vineyard. Going from the isolation of one room schoolhouses scattered island wide to the inception of a regional high school in the 1960's we are now proposing to connect all island neighborhoods through the formation of the Martha's Vineyard Charter School, thxis providing the Vineyard with one choice. \ \ If you have anjr concerns or questions regarding this application, our contact person We here on the Vio«yard is Nelia Decker, 508-693-1806. look forward to hearing from you^! Thank you for your time and consideration. — RespectfuUy, C^iMi nn (^ifi The Steering Committee Martha's Vineyard Charter School ^H-^~ Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Education Charter School Application Designated Contact Person Please provide the Executive Office of Education with the following information identifying a designated contact person for the group submitting an application for charter school status.
