Review of ESP and SLAM Foundation Contracts

The SLAM Foundation License agreement is a standard agreement. This contract is scheduled for 10 year.


Because we have so many new Board members I thought it was important to share this information with each person so that they will know exactly what we are contracted to do.


@Pardes Sulaiman suggest the change the contract to a year to year contract instead of a 5-year contract. @Charles Jones suggest that we have a spreadsheet that outlines who does what. @Pardes Sulaiman we already have that information. I will have Angelia send it out to all the Board members.

Danny Diaz if you look at the contract in letter C it says that you can terminate the agreement at any time. @Pardes Sulaiman I understand that

The fee is $650 per student but when you consider the services that are provided its worth the cost. Once enrollment increases you will have more of a need for the services.

Academica Update

The good news is that the play ground is finished. The Volley Ball nets will have to be dropped off the next time they come to Georgia.


They did the

ESP Survey Discussion
