The taskforce thought it was important to reduce the amount of full scholarships and
to contiue the partial scholarship program to, determine the optimum number of
scholarships and explore a White Knight investor to acquire the properties.
They also would like to establish a clear process and strategy for the flow of funds
from TSHA back to the town and the academy.
It was recommended that and RFP be used to obtain an investor that is familiar with
Student housing that can partner with TSH and purchase the bonds and take control of
the properties.
Larry said the goal is to find the right balance best for the TSH and Town. If an
investor is chosen then we could determin the number of full and incremental
scholarships given. Due to a number of economic issues the properties are
underutilized.
