[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny how such a wonderful school with such brilliant, capable leadership, and a financially stable parent organization, has been struggling for so long to open an elementary school. Lots of other elementary schools have opened. Wonder why BASIS can't get it over the finish line despite trying since 2016 (or maybe earlier)?[/quote]

It's funny how people with an axe to grind are so willing to gaslight on an anonymous forum. They are trying now. They tried to expand in 2016. There were no efforts in between.

Serious question: Why do people like you behave this way? Are you merely misinformed by the trolls and BASIS haters on DCUM or do you knowingly just make things up? I really want to understand why people like you seem more concerned with one school that many people like than with either your own kids or the overall state of DC schools. [/quote]

I want people to know that BASIS isn't all that, and I think the state of DC schools will be improved if people have a realistic understanding of this. Every school impacts the functioning of the overall school system.

Serious question to you: Why can't BASIS make this happen? Other schools have done it. And I believe there was an attempt more recently than 2016 but was discontinued due to unfavorable feedback from the PCSB.

If BASIS creates their elementary by absorbing a "failing" school, are all those kids at the faiilng school going to be forced to repeat grades? How many grades? BASIS boosters, do tell, how will this wonderful plan be implemented?[/quote]

I don't think BASIS is proposing to absorb the kids at failing schools. I read that to mean that they will take the building, once that failing school closes. Kids will have to lottery in.[/quote]
