[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sela is also Tier One JUST BARELY but their number is dropping (74.1 to 60.7).  Here's a question I have about Sela that also may apply to Harmony and others.  They projected in their charter school agreement  to have 310 students enrolled in SY 17-18.  They had 202 students last year.  How do they keep the lights on or are they just scaling their size and model to the reality of their enrollment?[/quote]

Harmony's ceiling was 432 students for last school year.  They had 94 students enrolled.[/quote]

There is no way 432 kids would fit in that building.  [/quote]

When they applied they anticipated having more than one building under one LEA. A charter's ceiling =/= their current enrollment or building capacity.

That said, it's pretty clear that this school will fail sooner rather than later, whether it's because charter is revoked or simply because enough families leave / fail to enroll for them to make ends meet.

I think the parent company is propping it up financially.  Though why they would do that is a mystery-- how does it benefit them to have a failing school year after year?  But they are.  So it will only end if the PCSB pulls the plug.[/quote]
