[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone able to pin down when SSMA found out that the Wisconsin ave location fell through? From watching the PSCB meeting, I was not able to tell. I am curious how long they held onto this info while extending new enrollment invitations and taking acceptances.[/quote] [b]I might mention, I almost puked while watching the SSMA administration being "commended" and called "astute" in dealing with this situation. Those are not the first words that would come to my mind.[/b][/quote] Completely agree. I also can't believe that the charter board seemed fine with what happened.[/quote] Is the charter school board accountable to elected officials? Is there some way that we can complain (effectively) about this?[/quote] The charter school board is appointed by the mayor. Otherwise it is completely unaccountable.[/quote] I guess we can only hope that parents vote with their feet and decide to walk from SSMA. (I'm sure many have no other option though, unfortunately.) [/quote] It will not help SSMA, but families should push for a more accountable board (just as DCPS parents should for their schools). It is inevitable that issues will arise in the future (whether logistical problems as at SSMA or unethical problems as at a number of schools), and taxpayers should have input. As for SSMA and other charters, families should push Catania to call a hearing on a variety of issues that have come up in charter schools and hear input from families, the schools, and the board.[/quote]
