Kinda. Politically, their answer to that question was that they hadn’t had serious conversations with anyone yet as they needed the board’s blessing first. This was the right answer in my opinion.

They got pushed and the Principals spoke up and said initial analysis had looked everywhere from south Ward 4 to Ward 7. They made it clear it would be difficult to get walking distance to Penn Quarter.

My real takeaway from that meeting is that the Board is still reacting to their failure as an organization to Eagle, and we’re trying not to look like a push over. I’d love to see their staff analysis because my guess is that it says if Basis opened at whatever they wanted the Board would be closing another school in a year or so. Just my two cents.[/quote]

Definitely they're embarrassed about Eagle and trying to play tough.

I think they'll be closing a few schools regardless-- now that I can see the CAPE scores, some of the schools up for review this year are looking quite iffy.[/quote]
