David --

Thanks. We will proceed to have Dr. Hite sign the pdf and then the original. I am not sure of schedules this
afternoon, so would it be possible to deliver the original on Tuesday morning?

Liz- I have attached a .pdf of the Lea School MOA, signed by Penn and PFT. If helpful,
Joann in the President’s Office could drop off the original for signature at 440 this
afternoon- let me know your preference.

Thanks again for your assistance in negotiating and completing the Lea School MOA.

2/14/22 Hi Liz. Just touching base, with the hope we can circulate for signatures this
week. Thanks!

Dear Liz- I have attached what, on your approval, will be the final signature version. I
added the email for Penn OGC, and the names of the Penn and PFT signers. Also deleted
the “attest” line, as we did not do that for the PAS agreement and isn’t necessary. As soon
as you can confirm that this signature version is approved by SDP, we’ll get the Penn and
PFT signatures and send a .pdf to you.

On the recent PAS agreement, when time allows can you send me the fully signed copy of
it? We don’t have that yet and would like it for our files.

Thanks again for your assistance, and Lynn’s, in getting this done.

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is good without
any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached
draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC email for notice, which I’m working on
obtaining, this is the final signature version. Can you please approve and then we can
start with the signature process.

Thanks very much for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

Thanks, Liz. If you could send me any edits you have as of now, and let me
know which issues are still being vetted and reviewed internally, that would be
helpful. I was under the impression from my client that open issues with the
District had been resolved.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

I plan to send you comments shortly. Please note that the language of the MOU is not actually
reviewed by the Board prior to the Board's consideration on January 27th. An action item has
been submitted to the Board so that approval of the MOU is on the Board's agenda for that
meeting.

I will be in touch.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me
know if there is any issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of
the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is good without
any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached
draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC email for notice, which I’m working on
obtaining, this is the final signature version. Can you please approve and then we can

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on

milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me

the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

2/14/22 Hi Liz. Just touching base, with the hope we can circulate for signatures this
week. Thanks!

Dear Liz- I have attached what, on your approval, will be the final signature version. I
added the email for Penn OGC, and the names of the Penn and PFT signers. Also deleted
the “attest” line, as we did not do that for the PAS agreement and isn’t necessary. As soon
as you can confirm that this signature version is approved by SDP, we’ll get the Penn and
PFT signatures and send a .pdf to you.

On the recent PAS agreement, when time allows can you send me the fully signed copy of

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is good without
any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached
draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC email for notice, which I’m working on
obtaining, this is the final signature version. Can you please approve and then we can
start with the signature process.

Thanks very much for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

I can send to you some of my comments on the agreement, but there are a number of issues
which are still being discussed and vetted internally. Would that be helpful?

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

reviewed by the Board prior to the Board's consideration on January 27th. An action item has
been submitted to the Board so that approval of the MOU is on the Board's agenda for that

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me
know if there is any issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of
the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me
know if there is any issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of
the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me
know if there is any issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of
the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is


good without any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have
approved the attached draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC
email for notice, which I’m working on obtaining, this is the final signature
version. Can you please approve and then we can start with the signature
process.

Thanks very much for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.

the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be paid


pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to
not refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we
confirmed that the carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for
the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then
finalizing the MOA over the next few days and having our clients
both sign, and the opportunity to work with the District on behalf of
its students.

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one


comment; please use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive
discussion earlier this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in
both track-change and clean versions that incorporates the
discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion,
Penn determined that it remains important to have annual reports
shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA
data is not available until later in the year. The report date is in
June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the
report can be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely
on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as


necessary. We look forward to your response and reaching
agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA on the January
27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can
authorize the MOA even if all language is not final, although the
preference would be to have the MOA completed by the date of
Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the


District later today, and would like to have the revised version of the
MOA for the call. I sent answers to the questions you had on
Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be


specified in the in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending
on the specific needs of Lea School over the course of the
agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is
devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary
commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA
should reflect that the total dollar commitment is both a monetary
contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development,


Penn Graduate School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School,
Penn Graduate School of Education

discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so
hoping we can include language that addresses the concern.
Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g.,


release time for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda
item and the Agreement reflect these more clearly? The language
about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the full
$816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

David --

I plan to send you comments shortly. Please note that the language of the MOU
is not actually reviewed by the Board prior to the Board's consideration on
January 27th. An action item has been submitted to the Board so that approval of
the MOU is on the Board's agenda for that meeting.

I will be in touch.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann
planning to leave their respective institutions in the near future,
want to be sure we have everything ready in time for the January
Board meeting. What is the deadline for having the final MOU to
get it on the January agenda? Can you let me know if there is any
issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of the week-
thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are
now back in the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on
where the resolution of internal issues is and timing on getting any
SDP edits on the MOU back so we can be sure to meet the January
timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes.


Penn and SDP have been discussing a new MOU for
support of Lea School. It’s modeled on the Penn
Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this past
summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to
SDP counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it
since you handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know
that both SDP and Penn would like to have this MOU for
Lea School approved by the Board in January or as soon
thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find out the
status and to resolve any language issues so we can
have a final version. Thanks for your assistance and
cooperation.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the questions of
this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s Office request that the
reference to compensation for professional development be removed to match the Penn
Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our
comment, and we’d prefer to not refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that
we confirmed that the carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing the MOA
over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the opportunity to work with
the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to confirm
receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to either approve or
return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please use this
version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier this week.
As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean versions that
incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion, Penn
determined that it remains important to have annual reports shortly after the end of the
school year, but understands that PSSA data is not available until later in the year. The
report date is in June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the report can
be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary. We look
forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA
on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can authorize
the MOA even if all language is not final, although the preference would be to have the
MOA completed by the date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District later today,
and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I sent answers to the
questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the in-kind
Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea School over the
course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is devoted to
managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School partnership. We don’t want to specify a
specific hourly or salary commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total
dollar commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate School of
Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn Graduate School
of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch last week

Hi David --

Do you know how much is being attributed to in-kind donation in the form of release time for Caroline? What
is meant by "release time"? What is Caroline's full name and title? Thanks.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we can include
language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time for
Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the
full $816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

I plan to send you comments shortly. Please note that the language of the MOU is not actually reviewed by
the Board prior to the Board's consideration on January 27th. An action item has been submitted to the
Board so that approval of the MOU is on the Board's agenda for that meeting.

I will be in touch.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to leave their
respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have everything ready in time
for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline for having the final MOU to get it on
the January agenda? Can you let me know if there is any issue in having the draft with
any SDP edits by the end of the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in the “office” ,
at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of internal issues is and timing
on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we can be sure to meet the January
timeline. Thanks!

Yes, I will be working on the Lea School MOU. I have spoken with the Chief of Staff to Dr. Hite
about the MOU and have a few issues to resolve internally. The expectation is to have the

The District offices are closed next week, so I will contact you in early January.

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP have been
discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s modeled on the Penn
Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this past summer. My understanding
is that the draft was sent to SDP counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be
working on it since you handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both

Board in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find out
the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a final version.

2/14/22 Hi Liz. Just touching base, with the hope we can circulate for signatures this
week. Thanks!

Dear Liz- I have attached what, on your approval, will be the final signature version. I
added the email for Penn OGC, and the names of the Penn and PFT signers. Also deleted
the “attest” line, as we did not do that for the PAS agreement and isn’t necessary. As soon
as you can confirm that this signature version is approved by SDP, we’ll get the Penn and
PFT signatures and send a .pdf to you.

On the recent PAS agreement, when time allows can you send me the fully signed copy of
it? We don’t have that yet and would like it for our files.

Thanks again for your assistance, and Lynn’s, in getting this done.

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is good without
any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached
draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC email for notice, which I’m working on
obtaining, this is the final signature version. Can you please approve and then we can

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me

the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in

internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

2/14/22 Hi Liz. Just touching base, with the hope we can circulate for signatures this
week. Thanks!

Dear Liz- I have attached what, on your approval, will be the final signature version. I
added the email for Penn OGC, and the names of the Penn and PFT signers. Also deleted
the “attest” line, as we did not do that for the PAS agreement and isn’t necessary. As soon
as you can confirm that this signature version is approved by SDP, we’ll get the Penn and
PFT signatures and send a .pdf to you.

On the recent PAS agreement, when time allows can you send me the fully signed copy of
it? We don’t have that yet and would like it for our files.

Thanks again for your assistance, and Lynn’s, in getting this done.

any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After

internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual


reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me
know if there is any issue in having the draft with any SDP edits by the end of
the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in
the “office” , at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of
internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi David --

Yes, I will be working on the Lea School MOU. I have spoken with the Chief of
Staff to Dr. Hite about the MOU and have a few issues to resolve internally. The
expectation is to have the Board of Education consider an action item to approve
the MOU at the January Board meeting.

The District offices are closed next week, so I will contact you in early January.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the questions of
this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s Office request that the
reference to compensation for professional development be removed to match the Penn
Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our
comment, and we’d prefer to not refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that
we confirmed that the carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing the MOA
over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the opportunity to work with

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to confirm
receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to either approve or
return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please use this
version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier this week.
As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean versions that
incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion, Penn
determined that it remains important to have annual reports shortly after the end of the
school year, but understands that PSSA data is not available until later in the year. The
report date is in June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the report can
be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary. We look
forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA
on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can authorize
the MOA even if all language is not final, although the preference would be to have the
MOA completed by the date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District later today,
and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I sent answers to the
questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the in-kind
Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea School over the
course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is devoted to
managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School partnership. We don’t want to specify a
specific hourly or salary commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total
dollar commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate School of
Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn Graduate School
of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch last week
and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time for
Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the
full $816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

Hi David --

Yes, I will be working on the Lea School MOU. I have spoken with the Chief of Staff to Dr. Hite
about the MOU and have a few issues to resolve internally. The expectation is to have the
Board of Education consider an action item to approve the MOU at the January Board meeting.

The District offices are closed next week, so I will contact you in early January.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP have been
discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s modeled on the Penn
Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this past summer. My understanding
is that the draft was sent to SDP counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be
working on it since you handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both
SDP and Penn would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the
Board in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find out
the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a final version.
Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Liz- good morning. After internal discussion, consensus is that agreement is good without
any further edits or need for discussion with PFT, since they have approved the attached
draft. With the exception of adding a generic OGC email for notice, which I’m working on
obtaining, this is the final signature version. Can you please approve and then we can
start with the signature process.

Thanks very much for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.

Liz- I have attached the latest and hopefully final version that responds to the
questions of this morning. I believe the only open issue is the President’s
Office request that the reference to compensation for professional development
be removed to match the Penn Alexander MOA. The teachers will of course be
paid pursuant to the CBA as noted in our comment, and we’d prefer to not
refer to it in the MOA if that’s acceptable. You’ll see that we confirmed that the
carry-over of funds is fine, if they are used for the MOA purposes.

We look forward to the Board’s approval later this evening, and then finalizing
the MOA over the next few days and having our clients both sign, and the
opportunity to work with the District on behalf of its students.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to
confirm receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to
either approve or return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please
use this version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier
this week. As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean
versions that incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After
internal discussion, Penn determined that it remains important to have annual
reports shortly after the end of the school year, but understands that PSSA data
is not available until later in the year. The report date is in June, but with
modifications to the language clarifying that the report can be based on
milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary.
We look forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and
approval of the MOA on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my
understanding that the Board can authorize the MOA even if all language is not
final, although the preference would be to have the MOA completed by the
date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

Thanks, Liz. If you could send me any edits you have as of now, and let me
know which issues are still being vetted and reviewed internally, that would be
helpful. I was under the impression from my client that open issues with the
District had been resolved.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District
later today, and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I
sent answers to the questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate
receiving the revised MOA by this afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the
in-kind Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea
School over the course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but
rather time that is devoted to managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School
partnership. We don’t want to specify a specific hourly or salary commitment.
As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding the salary for a Lea School
partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total dollar
commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate


School of Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn
Graduate School of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch
last week and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we
can include language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time
for Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement
reflect these more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the
erroneous impression that the full $816K would be in the form of a cash
payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to
leave their respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have
everything ready in time for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline
for having the final MOU to get it on the January agenda? Can you let me

the week-thanks!

internal issues is and timing on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we
can be sure to meet the January timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP
have been discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s
modeled on the Penn Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this
past summer. My understanding is that the draft was sent to SDP
counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be working on it since you
handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both SDP and Penn
would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the Board
in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find
out the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a
final version. Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to confirm
receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to either approve or
return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please use this
version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier this week.
As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean versions that
incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion, Penn
determined that it remains important to have annual reports shortly after the end of the
school year, but understands that PSSA data is not available until later in the year. The
report date is in June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the report can
be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary. We look
forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA
on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can authorize
the MOA even if all language is not final, although the preference would be to have the
MOA completed by the date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

Hi David --

Do you know how much is being attributed to in-kind donation in the form of release time for Caroline? What
is meant by "release time"? What is Caroline's full name and title? Thanks.

Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to confirm
receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to either approve or
return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please use this
version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier this week.
As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean versions that
incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion, Penn
determined that it remains important to have annual reports shortly after the end of the
school year, but understands that PSSA data is not available until later in the year. The
report date is in June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the report can
be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary. We look
forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA
on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can authorize

MOA completed by the date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District later today,
and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I sent answers to the
questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the in-kind
Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea School over the
course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is devoted to
managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School partnership. We don’t want to specify a
specific hourly or salary commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total
dollar commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate School of
Education

and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

01/24/22 Good morning. The GSE Dean and President’s office asked me to confirm
receipt of the revised draft, and your estimated turnaround time to either approve or
return with any requested edits. Thanks!!

1/21/22 Liz and Lynn- re-sending with a correction to one comment; please use this
version.

Dear Liz and Lynn- Thanks again for the time and productive discussion earlier this week.
As promised, here is a revised MOA in both track-change and clean versions that
incorporates the discussion and input from SDP and PFT. After internal discussion, Penn
determined that it remains important to have annual reports shortly after the end of the
school year, but understands that PSSA data is not available until later in the year. The
report date is in June, but with modifications to the language clarifying that the report can
be based on milestones and benchmarks that do not rely on PSSA data.

Please review and forward to other District and PFT personnel as necessary. We look
forward to your response and reaching agreement on the MOA, and approval of the MOA
on the January 27th Board agenda. It is my understanding that the Board can authorize
the MOA even if all language is not final, although the preference would be to have the
MOA completed by the date of Board action.

Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

0/13/22 Hi Liz. The President’s Office at Penn is speaking with the District later today,
and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I sent answers to the
questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the in-kind
Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea School over the
course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is devoted to
managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School partnership. We don’t want to specify a
specific hourly or salary commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total
dollar commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate School of
Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn Graduate School
of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch last week
and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time for
Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the
full $816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to leave their
respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have everything ready in time
for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline for having the final MOU to get it on
the January agenda? Can you let me know if there is any issue in having the draft with
any SDP edits by the end of the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in the “office” ,
at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of internal issues is and timing
on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we can be sure to meet the January
timeline. Thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP have been
discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s modeled on the Penn
Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this past summer. My understanding
is that the draft was sent to SDP counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be
working on it since you handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both
SDP and Penn would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the
Board in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find out
the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a final version.
Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

call yesterday. I had provided Joann with comments on the edits and questions in your
last draft. Alicia and Joann suggested that the next step is a conference call with you, me,
our clients, and a PFT representative to review the proposed edits and questions and
reach agreement on all. You and I can then make any final edits to reflect that discussion.

Alicia and Joann are working on finding a time that will work for everyone.

and would like to have the revised version of the MOA for the call. I sent answers to the
questions you had on Monday, and would appreciate receiving the revised MOA by this
afternoon. Thanks!

David

Liz- Good morning. There is no specific amount that should be specified in the in-kind
Penn contribution, as it will vary depending on the specific needs of Lea School over the
course of the agreement. It’s not really “release time”, but rather time that is devoted to
managing and directing the Penn GSE-Lea School partnership. We don’t want to specify a
specific hourly or salary commitment. As part of the Penn commitment, it is also funding
the salary for a Lea School partnership coordinator. The MOA should reflect that the total
dollar commitment is both a monetary contribution and in-kind personnel from Penn.

The titles for the current Penn in-kind contributors are:

Caroline Watts, Director of School and community Development, Penn Graduate School of
Education
Richard Liuzzi, Community Partnership Coordinator for Lea School, Penn Graduate School
of Education

FYI, the Penn President’s Office and GSE reached out directly to Lynn Rausch last week
and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi David --

Do you know how much is being attributed to in-kind donation in the form of release time for Caroline? What
is meant by "release time"? What is Caroline's full name and title? Thanks.

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we can include
language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time for
Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the
full $816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline for having the final MOU to get it on

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in the “office” ,

and I believe she’s in the loop on these discussions.

Hi David --

Do you know how much is being attributed to in-kind donation in the form of release time for Caroline? What
is meant by "release time"? What is Caroline's full name and title? Thanks.

Liz

Hi Liz. The President’s Office just pointed out the issue below, so hoping we can include
language that addresses the concern. Thanks.

. A portion of the GSE contribution will be in-kind services (e.g., release time for
Caroline). Do we need to ensure that the agenda item and the Agreement reflect these
more clearly? The language about a “grant” might give the erroneous impression that the
full $816K would be in the form of a cash payment.

David --

I plan to send you comments shortly. Please note that the language of the MOU is not actually reviewed by
the Board prior to the Board's consideration on January 27th. An action item has been submitted to the
Board so that approval of the MOU is on the Board's agenda for that meeting.

I will be in touch.

Just checking in. With both Dr. Hite and Penn President Gutmann planning to leave their
respective institutions in the near future, want to be sure we have everything ready in time
for the January Board meeting. What is the deadline for having the final MOU to get it on
the January agenda? Can you let me know if there is any issue in having the draft with
any SDP edits by the end of the week-thanks!

Hi Liz. Hope you had a great holiday. The District and Penn are now back in the “office” ,
at least virtually, so touching base on where the resolution of internal issues is and timing
on getting any SDP edits on the MOU back so we can be sure to meet the January
timeline. Thanks!

Hi David --

Yes, I will be working on the Lea School MOU. I have spoken with the Chief of Staff to Dr. Hite
about the MOU and have a few issues to resolve internally. The expectation is to have the
Board of Education consider an action item to approve the MOU at the January Board meeting.

The District offices are closed next week, so I will contact you in early January.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Liz. Hope you are well, and best holiday wishes. Penn and SDP have been
discussing a new MOU for support of Lea School. It’s modeled on the Penn
Alexander MOU that you and I worked on this past summer. My understanding
is that the draft was sent to SDP counsel, so checking to see if you’ll be
working on it since you handled the Penn Alexander MOU. I know that both
SDP and Penn would like to have this MOU for Lea School approved by the
Board in January or as soon thereafter as possible, so reaching out to find out
the status and to resolve any language issues so we can have a final version.
Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.
