[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who suggested the (maybe) 25 slots will keep adding up in coming years, have you actually read the charter, and factored that into your assumptions?  I doubt you have - because their approved charter is for a total of up to 400 students 5th through 8th - it DOES NOT specify a maximum number of slots for any particular grade.  They can simply add more 5th and 6th grade slots in coming cycles, to aim for populating that approved 400 total for grades 5-8. So OF COURSE they can make up their numbers in coming years, within scope of the approved charter language.

I suspect the only reason they didn't add more 5th grade slots this year is because they already had their resources, staffing and structure set up for the current number of 5th grade students - and that it wasn't that big of a crisis for them to have a few slots go unfilled.  It's ultimately just a one-year 6% variance for that grade 5-8 approved allotment.

So no, it's not ongoing, and it's most definitely not the end of the world.[/quote]

so in your infinite wisdom, what do you suggest they set up re resources, staffing, and structure next year to avoid an (over $250k) loss?  Each student is worth about 12k per year.  How should do it so that there aren't 25 empty spaces next year in either 5th or 6th?[/quote]
