[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting since there are other home-grown afterschool programs that can have 300+ kids, and that the parent board (after 40 years) just decided to disband rather than figure out how to scale up.  [/quote]

They looked at Janney+ model- if that is who you mean- but it's very complex and there were clearly some MBAs or similar at work and I don't think they felt they could replicate it.

Couldn't replicate it or weren't given adequate time to plan?  If the ASAT was structured like a source selection process it would be great to have visibility into what requirements the vendors were presented with.  Again, it seems strange that the notes sent around to the school about the 4/6/17 ASAT meeting indicate that LAP didn't know there was a competition.  Was the request for proposals publicly announced anywhere?  Would the Janney+ model have even been compatible with whatever requirements were defined in the request for proposal?[/quote]

I'd also like to see whatever rubric was developed that shows how each proposal measured up against the requirements.[/quote]

Me too.  The ASAT meeting minutes from 4/6/17 state:

-ASAT delineated criteria for reviewing the proposals (in order of priority):
-Capacity and Program Focus
-Cost
-Check-in/Check-out procedures, Staffing, and Enrichment
-Service for non-school days

but the note that the Principal sent out on May 3rd says, [i]"The ASAT scored each proposal and program according to an established set of priorities (capacity, safety, cost curriculum/activties, ect), and thoroughly discussed the pros/cons/best fit opportunitites for our kids and our community."[/i]

Does that mean at some point in the process that safety became a more important scoring criteria than project cost?  How was that decision made?[/quote]
