What does emergency legislation mean for charters?

Why should each charter contract with Friendship? Why can’t the kids just enroll directly? Is it full?

That's what my council member's office told me -- that charters would be contracting with Friendship. Or at least trying to.

It does seem like some BS, doesn't it?

I assume that people want to keep their charter spot so they wouldn't be enrolling in Friendship directly. Because that would mean disenrolling from their own school.

I wonder how charters with niches will do it -- Montessori, bilingual.

Charters seem to have enough going on right now from my perspective as a parent. The city really shouldn’t impose more bureaucratic rules. Just let the kids double enroll for a year and call it a pandemic pass, if that’s the policy goal. Stop with the red tape.

You mean double enroll in Friendship and the home charter? I think if that's something that charters have money for it's fine.

But you know there are going to be people demanding virtual from their home schools.
