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 good businessman never makes a contract unless he’s sure he can carry it through, yet every fool on earth is perfectly willing to sign a marriage contract without considering whether he can live up to it or not.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
