Dent School Addition Paused

The Board of Trustees, at its July 14, 2009 meeting, decided to place a "hold" on our planned addition to the School.

The economic downturn has placed enormous unforeseen obstacles to the project, changing our careful assumptions for fundraising, tuition and enrollment, and our borrowing capacity.

The need for space still exists and the addition we have planned remains our best hope to meet the needs of our educational program. Our fundraising campaign, "Making a Greater Dent," will continue to enhance our programs and grow the endowment with the expectation that we will restart the building project when the time is right.

Board of Zoning Adjustment Notice

On April 7, 2009 the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) extended the period of validity for the zoning variances and special exception relief  that was granted in June 11, 2007 by two years from its original expiration date of June 11, 2009 to June 11, 2011.

The Board stated that "The Applicant's inability to secure financing and the poor economic conditions in the District together with the Applicant's inability to secure all related government agency approvals by the expiration of the Order because of delays beyond the Applicant's control constitutes the 'good cause' required..." to justify the extension.

The Board notes in its Order that "the Applicant's plans for development of the site would be unchanged from those approved by the Board in its Order Dated June 11, 2007."
