Contract Extension
A district charter school review team recommended a nonrenewal of the school's contract after the 2009-2010 year because of the school's failure to meet some academic targets spelled out in its agreement with the district, and its failure to comply with some minor paperwork issues. Meanwhile, MPS Superintendent William Andrekopoulos recommended that the board extend Alliance's contract for another year.
On March 9, 2010, the school received a two-year contract extension to improve its academics in a 5-0 vote. The board also agreed that an alternate means of assessment was needed to evaluate the value added the school brings to the district.

Famous quotes containing the words contract and/or extension:
“A contract for better for worse is a contract that should not be tolerated.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“We are now a nation of people in daily contact with strangers. Thanks to mass transportation, school administrators and teachers often live many miles from the neighborhood schoolhouse. They are no longer in daily informal contact with parents, ministers, and other institution leaders . . . [and are] no longer a natural extension of parental authority.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
