Update on Communication:
San Diego Unified School District –T. Philips has spoken with Principle Irwin and she is happy with the way the bus program is being handled this year. He hopes to be able to sit down with her before the end of the school year to further repair relationship between the school and the committee and hopefully gain increased assistance from MMS in the future. T. Philips also mentioned that the Alliant University Property has been sold to K B Homes and will be used for residential housing in the future. This could have a major impact on MMS in the future.
