[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone currently at Stokes think this has a chance of happening?   The Board is checked out and uninterested,the administration is so over their heads with even managing an elementary school there is no way they can pull this off without an infusion of some real professional management at the school and/or a board that really functions as leaders.  I suspect the same is true of the other charters.

Ex-Stokes Parent?  Sounds to me as though you had a child that did not get in.

I don't have a child in the school (although I would love to) but I do conduct thorough research.  My understanding is that the Board is extremely committed and active.  There are even sub committees of the board composed of experts in education, business and fundraising that also work hard to ensure continued academic rigor and financial vitality. This is why they have over a decade of proven success and their own building. This is highly unlikely with a "checked out and uninterested" board.

[b]At any rate, I hope that a school like Stokes does take their time deciding to partner with Yu Ying (need I say anything--check the threads) and Mundo Verde (a school with NO track record). If I were the Board, I would take time to consider the pros and cons.  [/b]Good move Stokes![/quote]

Before you get too snarky, you might keep in mind which school not only created this vision, but also found 100,000 sq. ft. in which to do it.  [/quote]

My dear, the idea is not novel.  [/quote]
