[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis was adamant when I called today that they were done moving their lists for the school year. [/quote]

They might say that but if 10 kids withdrew from 5th grade tomorrow (highly unlikely I know) they would pull from the waitlist.  That’s too much money to leave on the table.[/quote]

I don’t know that they can say that. That’s obnoxious to say they are done when they are public school taking and reliant on public funds. [/quote]

They can, they just don't get paid for the empty seats. However, they also don't get paid for enrolling kids over their cap, and I'm not sure what their cap actually is. You'd have to look in the charter agreement.[/quote]

They get per pupil funding for the number of kids they enroll.  Whether that is over or under their cap it doesn’t matter.  As long as a kid is enrolled before count day, Basis gets that funding per student.  That has nothing to do with charters versus DCPS, that’s law.[/quote]
