I have had the privilege of touring the King Urban Life Center on two occasions; and aside £com being extremely impressed with the ardutectural preservation, I was also amazed at the educational accomplishments, that are taking place. It appears to have a very dedicated star!; excellent equipment — panintiady computcxa — plus a real desire to improve student learning and accomplishment for children that are at risk of academic failure. Any objective review, in my judgment, reveals that the Buffalo School System is failing, not because of money, since we spend more per student than many other communities, but sather due to a lack of leadership. By allowing the Kind Urban life Center to become a charter school, our community can. have cost effective, quality education at a time when our resources are severely tapped. Thank you for your consideration. ithony H. Gioia Chairman AHG/tja 30 39Vd JLW9W VI0I9 SES09189T6 80:60 666I/6Z/60 #c Council 2i CITY OF BUFFALO KEVIN J.

PBuffalo’s first black citizens lived alongside early settlers and largely resided in the Fourth Ward. Buffalo’s black population faced many adversities but experienced more freedom than many other parts of the country. New York State was one of the more liberal states and enacted policies, such as abolishing slavery in 1827. Still, life in Buffalo was far from perfect for black families in the 1800s. Due to its proximity to the Canadian border, Professor Wilbur H. Siebert’s underground railroad of WNY map Buffalo soon became a key part of the underground railroad: it was the last stop before reaching freedom. The city became known to conductors around the country as a network of “stations” were established.

The edge of growth in industry, agriculture, and manufacturing from back then, to now bolstering high tech industry and engineering, S both medically and scientifically, which are eminating once again. The edge of one of the five Great Lakes, Lake Erie, and the edge of one of the longest International borders from Buffalo to Niagara Falls, Buffalo has ex- perienced its high and lows of any great city over the decades, which suffered economic downturns of industry and development. However, Buffalo is now a city poised on the edge of an already underpinning of a long awated re-birth. From the great prosperous days of the Erie Canal, the Steel and Power Plants taking advantage of the abundance of the flow- ing waters of Lake Erie and the Niagara River, are all significant factors, which helped to propel Buffalo and Western New York to one of the top ten cities at the turn of the 20th Century. This rise brought with its wealth and power, both brokers and philanthropists, which grew with it our world renowned Arts and Entertain- ment Institutions, including the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo History Museum, the Buffalo Museum of Science, the Buffalo Zoo, Kleinhans Music Hall - home to our Buffalo Philharmonic - and the achitecural phenomenon - Shea’s Theater.

Since the onset of the pandemic, tens of thousands of laptops and iPads were distributed to Buffalo Public Schools’ students for remote learning. Access to technology is not only an essential instructional tool for modern-day teaching and learning, but also a privilege. Students must take EXTRAORDINARY good care of the device loaned to them and parents must make certain this happens. This letter serves to ensure there are clear guidelines regarding the process and the consequences of lost, damaged or destroyed devices. Lost/Stolen iPads In the event a computer is lost or stolen, a police report must be filed immediately. A copy of the report should be brought to staff at the Center for Innovation, Technology and Training at 1515 South Park Avenue or emailed to [email protected] along with details about the student (name, school, grade). No replacement device will be issued without a police report. Note: The District will deactivate the device immediately upon receipt of report. Replacement Power Cords To date, approximately 1490 power cords have been replaced. Power cords will only be replaced at no charge if the old power cord is returned at the time of the requested replacement.
