6.0 CORRESPONDENCE<br />
George Wylie, San Lorenzo Valley School Board member, addressed the Board<br />
regarding correspondence received regarding Pacific Collegiate School (PCS)<br />
and plans to begin a separate non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization that would benefit PCS and<br />
potentially purchase facilities to house the school. Mr. Wylie noted there appeared<br />
to be a fundamental shift with monies at PCS, and added that, as the chartering authority,<br />
this Board should be alarmed.<br />
Suz Howells addressed the Board regarding donations to PCS. Ms. Howells<br />
stated that the current PCS reserves are largely comprised <strong>of</strong> donations received<br />
from families. She stated that there should be transparency or disclosure <strong>of</strong><br />
what donations will be used for and that if PCS is staging a capital campaign,<br />
then that should be disclosed.<br />
Trustee Winslow recommended the SCCOE attorney review the matter to<br />
determine if the SCCOE is subject to liability as the chartering authority.<br />
Trustee Dilles stated he would want to know what would happen to facilities<br />
belonging to a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it organization if there were to be a dissolution <strong>of</strong><br />
the charter, noting he understands PCS trying to gain control <strong>of</strong> their<br />
facilities to secure stability in the future.<br />
George Wylie addressed the Board a second time, stating he believed a letter<br />
sent to parents <strong>of</strong> PCS students soliciting donations did not accurately state<br />
purpose <strong>of</strong> the donations.<br />
