[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The BIM dumpster fire rages on unchecked, sounds like.  The Head of Operations has very little actual experience teaching or supervising teachers; she does the admin stuff at a minimally acceptable level.  I can't imagine her in the actual HOS role, even for six months.

Have to say that BIM is consistent.  They find a new way to blow up their disintegrating reputation further each and every year.[/quote]

Is the Head Of School one of the management and consultant class that makes bank at charter schools, or one of the young peons they pay peanuts and cycle through yearly to make the business model work?

I thought the HOS was making big money like the execs at the charter management orgs.  No?[/quote]

Anything related to money or business is TOP SECRET in the Basis Independent universe.  Apparently, the BIN CEO was finally eased out the door in June, but there was no PR about his replacements.  You won't even find their names on the BIN website. So good luck figuring out who is in charge or what their plans are beyond all the bland cliches on the various corporate and school websites.

In addition to the sudden layoffs in October, two more teachers and one staff member have quit and not been replaced.

If people want to roll the dice and see what happens in the building under the fifth HOS next year (a long-term BASIS charter and independent school veteran) it might work out.  The facilities are OK for middle schoolers, even if they are pathetic at the high school level.  Depends how many teachers stick it out and roll the dice too for another year.

That's the big BASIS problem.  You literally never know what's going to happen next.  All you know is that it will be sudden, with no warning, and imposed on everyone from above. And increasingly unlikely that it will involve any significant new investment in the school barring some unexpected change of heart at the corporate level.  This is a school that just stumbles along from year to year.

If that works for students and parents, good luck[/quote]

a guy called Matt Dick is in charge. He is listed as their president on the PR about a new school they are opening in NYC. Looks like he is an accountant. Makes sense.[/quote]
