East Hills Academy is a D11-approved classical charter school application tied directly to Legacy Institute / Legacy Fellowship through founder Daniel Ajamian and through application support described in the D11 packet.
2026-46 and Contract Modification 2 to Charter Contract C2027-0001, authorizing East Hills to co-occupy approximately 12,830 square feet at Mann Middle School from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The generated May 6 public-meeting transcript records a motion, roll call, and chair announcement that the ayes had it. Treat that as apparent meeting-outcome posture pending official minutes, exact vote totals, and executed Attachment 8 terms.D11's June 4, 2025 minutes record the East Hills application action item, identify Daniel Ajamian as East Hills executive director, and show the board approving Resolution 2025-40 by a 7-0 vote.
The May 6, 2026 board packet later frames East Hills co-occupancy as a Capacity Committee / portfolio-model facility use decision. The packet says Horace Mann Middle School had 484 available seats and that the Capacity Committee recommended expanded co-habitation opportunities for charter schools and innovation-school opportunities at schools with 250 or more available seats.
The May 6 generated transcript adds meeting-discussion evidence. Staff described Legacy Institute as involved because principals who brought East Hills and Spruce charter proposals had participated in a cohort and helped develop the applications, while also distinguishing that from direct district affiliation. This strengthens the application-support source lead but does not prove Legacy funding, D11 payment, control, or vote influence.
