July, 2007 and three Board member terms expiring in July, 2008. The Council agreed with Ms. Estep's suggestion. The
following applicants were present and spoke on their own behalf: Evelyn D'An, Alina Gonzalez, Charles Strouse, and

on the Charter School Board Authority. As discussed, Ms. D'An will serve until July, 2008.
