[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to chime in that SSMA is definitely bringing this up to the PSCB and asking that a policy be put into place to prevent this from happening again.

It sucks that it happened and the administration wants to make sure it doesn't happen to another school (bc honestly, the situation isn't going to get much better). From the meeting last night, the school wasn't interested in 'punishing' Bridges or going after the landlord, they just want to make sure no other school has to deal with something similar going forward.[/quote]

Thank you for mentioning this really important point. The director was asked at one point if she's gone to the press or sought political avenues to try and reconcile the situation, but her response was no, that her priority was to find a new space which is in the best interest of the school. The deal between bridges and the landlord is signed and I doubt the (Atlanta-based) landlord cares too much about the implications of pitting two DC charters against each other.

The accusations that SSMA did something similar to Sela are completely inaccurate. There may have been early discussions, but no formal negotiation began on the property as it was never a desired location among the families.
