Agree that it's not emergency level bad -- it's just part of the internal, deliberative discussions they need to have in closed session as they approach charter reviews. But it's not them trying to close schools before the lottery. They may be trying to close schools but the lottery window is DONE. High schools closed some weeks ago and elementary middle closed last week. if there are schools closed this year, those parents will have to take whatever seats are left. That's assuming that they weren't in the lottery already.

Also, if you look at past years, meetings where reviews were scheduled were usually preceded by special/closed meetings in the prior month or weeks. This happened in October 2019 before they went into three charter renewals in November 2019. The difference this year is the sheer volume of charter reviews require more closed meetings to deliberate before the public review. Reviews used to start as early as November and go through early spring. Now they are compressing reviews with a timeline that starts mid-March.[/quote]
