[OLPC_Boston] CFS pilot status? (for IL deployment team)

[Samuel Klein]

I mentioned this the other night -- I recommend starting something

getting their teachers thinking about what they will do next term.

It sounds like there is momentum from other neighboring communities to
collaborate soon as well!
