Box 9478 Coppell, Texas 75019 Re: Section 803B of the Charter of the City of Coppell ISD Dear Ms. Ball: On behalf of the Coppell Independent School District (CISD), I would like to formally request an appeal of the decision of the Coppell Education Development Corporation (CEDC) regarding their rejection of a grant request submitted by CISD. On August 13, 2003, the CEDC met in regular session and voted three in favor, two against and one abstention for Coppell Independent School District's application for $816,300 to provide literacy assistance in the form of English as a second language (ESL) for the District. We feel that the program objectives of our English as a second language application fit the area of literacy as approved by the voters and, also, that the vote itself was a positive vote even though there may be some question on whether four votes were needed to approve the grant. We would appreciate the Council's consideration of this grant application, and our appeal of the CEDC's action. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, Jeff N. Turner, Ed. D. Superintendent Coppell Independent School District SWORN TO and Subscribed before me by ..3 e-Q ‘u f n c r 5 day of August, 2003. (SEAL) LISA A.
