Bracing For A Big Unprecedented Challenge In-Charge of Mesa Public Schools: Is New Super Andi Fourlis Up For It?
Hard to say at this point-in-time after reading a cover story by Jim Walsh in the weekend Sunday edition.
Once again "an insider" was selected to take over the largest public school system that has failed students for more than 30 years, riddled with financial scandals and a bloated bureaucracy. That was "in the best of times."
________________________________________________________________
Probably lower you expectations and get ready for more spin in the usual go round-and-round with meaningless empty words and phrases that say nothing much on the generations-old consistent failures to attain proficiencies at grade levels and inequalities inherent that can only increase now. It's time way overdue.

New Mesa schools head braces for big challenge
"Leading a public school system at any time is a challenge but for Mesa Public Schools’ new superintendent, the challenge is unprecedented
The COVID-19 pandemic plunged the state’s largest district into a crisis, with campuses closed through the end of this school year, teachers losing contact with hundreds of students from low-income, unstable homes and hundreds of seniors thrown into a disappointing end to their high school careers.
And while she says, “we’re very worried’’ – especially for the students the district has lost track of – Dr. Andi Fourlis seeks a silver lining of sorts in the dark cloud that the pandemic has cast over schools.

Multi-family
The multi-family site acquisition strategy to consist of a focus on secondary and tertiary cities in the Southern United States that are showing positive trends of population migration, increased job creation rates, decreasing vacancy rates, increasing asking rates, and an environment where absorption rates are far surpassing supply based on our research provided in the investment strategy. We expect to locate land in these regions at below market rate prices through the acquisition of off-market properties for the ground-up development of our units.
In certain circumstances the fund may acquire an asset for renovation should it meet certain criteria. These criteria include, but are not limited to,
- the asset meeting the substantial improvement rule outlined in the OZ Fund Rules,
- properties that are marked historic for the use of HTCs, or
- properties that have city, state or local incentives provided in areas that are in need of housing.
- We also plan to focus on workforce and affordable housing projects and, with the guidance of our tax advisors and counsel, projects that could potentially include Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.
_________________________________________________________________
OZC seeks to accomplish these goals by developing and rehabilitating real property across the hospitality, multi-family, and self-storage verticals that lie within Opportunity Zone census tracts in tertiary markets that OZC's management team believes are stable and high-growth areas. OZC will serve as the Fund's Manager.
Investment Objective
Investing primarily in real estate assets within the self-storage, multi-family, and hospitality sectors, the Fund will pursue investment in these sectors that are located within designated Opportunity Zones. The managers of the Fund believe these targets to be stable and high-growth real estate assets positioned in secondary and tertiary markets throughout the Southern United States such as Mesa, Tampa, San Antonio, Houston, and Atlanta.
A further focus of the Fund, within these asset classes, is geographical locations that have demonstrated positive trends regarding migration patterns, population and income growth, quality of education, and low crime rates. Should the Fund be unable to locate real property in Opportunity Zones that are suitable for investment, the Fund may make investments in OZ Property that do not consist of a direct or indirect interests in real property in order to maintain its OZ Fund status.
