Basis being sued? Is that true?

[Anonymous]

Is that true? But why?

[Anonymous]

Where did you hear this?

They are almost certainly being sued for their treatment of students with IEPs. If it hasn't happened yet, it will soon.

I just heard it from a parent there. They HATE it.

The parent hates Basis and is suing the school? To what end - what does the lawsuit entail?

I thought the Dept of Ed was doing an investigation into discriminated against students with disabilities.

Is it more than this?

But that's not specific to basis.

Large corporations deal with a lot of lawsuits. Until something comes of one, there's no news here.

Were they forced at gunpoint to attend Basis?

Jesus. I'm just shaking my head.

There's a waitlist of families three digits deep that would absolutely love to take their place at Basis right now.

My kid has a 504 there-the special ed person is beyond incredible, and the learning specialists are unbelievably dedicated and talented. There are things we aren't crazy about but the special ed team is NOT one of them!

Exactly. If you don't like it, find another school.

We were matched to Basis and I just can't wrap my mind around sending DC there. It just doesn't seem that great... So there will be an extra spot for someone who thinks it is great.

[Anonymous]

We will take it!

That's not really fair. If you were matched at Eliot Hine or Eatern, you wouldn't automatically suck it up. Basis is a public school, it needs to follow the same laws as every other public school. If that's too hard, then it should stop taking taxpayer funding and go private. They can't have it both ways.
