[quote=Anonymous]BASIS has confirmed the plan to expand from K to 4th:

"BASIS DC has experienced significant academic and social growth in the decade since its inception, bolstering our confidence in this expansion. 
 
We have always been committed to serving students in grades K-12. In fact, BASIS DC is the only BASIS campus without a K-4 feeder campus, and it is time we bridged this gap. The last time we applied for charter expansion, one of the fundamental impediments was access to appropriate facilities. The current financial climate and the availability of commercial real estate have created an opportune moment for us to extend our enriching curriculum to younger learners. 
 
An expanded campus(es) would leverage economies of scale, enhancing resources and outcomes for all members of the BASIS DC community. Opening doors of possibility aligned to feedback from current parents, such as access to outdoor/athletic space, enrollment options for siblings, a more consistent ‘BASIS’ culture within the school, and even the chance for more middle school and high school seats for students. 
 
Moreover, BASIS DC has consistently achieved its growth targets, particularly in increasing our Special Education enrollment and reducing student attrition. Our latest PARCC scores post-COVID have underscored BASIS DC's exceptional performance, surpassing citywide outcomes across all student demographics."[/quote]
