The Need for Signatures on Petitions and the Status of the Application October 9, 2007 Why Do We Need Signatures We need signatures for a new charter school application that we will submit to the Pittsburgh Public Schools on November 15, 2007. We want this school to open as soon as possible, therefore despite the pending status of the appeal, we believe it is imperative to prepare a new application, one that addresses the district\'s objections to our initial application, to submit on November 15 should either the Charter Appeal Board reject our appeal, or should they not decide on the appeal at their scheduled November 13 meeting. On October 2, the appeal of the decision by the Pittsburgh Public Schools to deny our charter was heard before the Pennsylvania Charter Appeal Board. The CAB will vote whether to grant us a charter at their November 13 meeting. The board of the charter school has decided to prepare a new application for our school in case the Appeal Board does not rule in our favor. This new application must be submitted to the Pittsburgh Board of Education by November 15
