[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, but half a dozen heads in 11 years.  They all couldn't have had family issues. The BASIS franchise seems to have a great deal of trouble keeping a HOS for more than a few years.

Relatives with kids at a BASIS AZ campus for many years report that their program is the same.[/quote]

PP you responded to wasn’t defending the track record. This HOS was qualitatively different than the others. Planned to stick around - so this is a shock and. Once ring in a different way.

As for AZ, I think they view HOS as cogs in their wheel that are easily replaced. The DC school is slightly different than the others - ie its Board has negotiated lower fees to Basis.ed. I think they wish they’d never come here frankly.

It just sucks to start over. [/quote]

Serving as BASIS DC HOS sounds something like being an urban McDonald's franchiser.  You can't alter the menu/product.  You can merely tweak management to support high staff caliber and retention to boost efficiency and output.  They got lucky with the current head at this McDonalds. They may not get lucky again anytime soon.[/quote]
