[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That article reads worse than a "Dear Popville" letter.

Also, if/when they apply to make it a charter school, they should make sure to state that the purpose of the school is to serve disadvantaged students.  If the DCPCSB presses on how that makes any sense, they should mumble something about limited organic non-dairy latte options and then make a big donation to DFER or FOCUS.[/quote]

They're partnering with a franchise-style private school partner. Cost is $20,000 per child. It won't ever be a charter school. It's a version of home schooling or un-schooling for people who don't want to do all the work themselves.

You obviously didn't read the article. Their long term vision is to make it a charter. [/quote]

Right but the reason and action of the founding group to start a school matters. The only DC private schools that ever 'converted' were the schools the Archdiocese of Washington closed which then reconstituted as charters.

This isn't about serving any and all children in DC -- which is what a charter has to do and be. There is a training and orientation program for people who wish to start a DC charter school. Is anyone in this group enrolled in it?
