Parties to MOU• MOU should be between the Board and BESE
• Only BESE has the authority to place schools into the RSD and said authority should not be delegated to the LDOE
• Should DOE seek to terminate the MOU for cause, the Board should have an opportunity to be heard before BESE
• Current draft provides for the parties to be LEA and LDOE

MOU/Funding

• The MOU provides no parameters or limits within which the RSD would operate in this regard
• MOU requires Board to obligate itself to an unknown amount
