Jamie asks about a written doctors note for being excused from PE for all 4 years of high school, how to move forward?

Lawsuit update: Our legal team took to the case to Supreme Court they declined to hear it. MVCS has a board approved waiver to waive the law for under 2 years. If goes to 2 years or more it becomes permanent. Right now you can have centers in your district and outside your county but not outside your district. We can amend our charter to approve one outside your district. Forming a nonprofit to have and run 3 or 4 charter schools. This is the long term plan(longer than the 2 year plan). It would require a different kind of board.
