[quote=Anonymous]What's unique about the BASIS curriculum?  Several things.  For example, they offer their LEAP program which is more accelerated than what is available at other schools in the district.  They are the only school in the district where a student would have the opportunity to take Calculus in 8th grade, for example.  They also offer more AP course opportunities than any other school in DC.

As far as what it is about the law that specifically relates to your concern about BASIS and only BASIS as opposed to Latin, YY, or any other charter, there isn't any area in the law where BASIS specifically stands out as distinct from the others.

Perhaps you could post some links and specifics to better make whatever point you are trying to make.  And if you are citing the law, I should hope that I don't have to point out to you that while federal laws for public schools still apply to DC charters, regular DC public school law does not, charters are governed by laws separate from the laws that govern regular public schools in DC.[/quote]
