[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the Feds came into YY or not? Growing pains are one thing. Feds is another. [/quote]

Feds never came to YY except when they went to all charter schools as a result of the DCPS diabetes case (which dragged charters into their investigation) and parents/kids were never encouraged to leave. My sped child has been there since the beginning and I came because I got lousy sped in preK at another school. YY has always had excellent sped (although not always excellent support from some parents and haters on this forum)[/quote]

As history has shown, when the feds are called, they answer the call and show up.  This isn't the first time feds have looked at the schools, and historically, no school out there has managed to grow up in this city without having someone investigate them at some point or another.

And as history shows, we have no shortage [b]of haters who are quick to call[/b] for an investigation of the schools at a drop of a hat.

But as history has also shown, the mere fact that someone called them up and that they answered the call is not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing.

Nothing to see until the investigation is complete.[/quote]

Obviously the "haters" were the parents of special education students at BASIS whose IEPs were not being followed and/or implemented correctly. Not the same thing at all as DCUM haters who don't have kids at the school but "hate" on a new school without basis.

While I wish BASIS well, please don't try to characterize the DCPCSB and DOE investigation as mere growing pains with little merit to the complaints (only paperwork problems, etc).  Obviously, the charter board and the Feds think it's a big deal.

The charter board and the feds are just doing their job, they were called in to investigate and so they are doing just that - and I would expect nothing less.  Maybe you think it's a big deal, I happen to consider it far more sane and rational to defer judgement until we actually hear the findings coming out of the investigation.

Leave the authorities to handle it and for due process to be followed, as opposed to a trial of opinions on an anonymous website based on nothing but spotty, halfbaked and unreliable rumors, innuendo and misinformation.[/quote]
