[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on and off this forum.  Don't remember CMI parents being stoked about MS.  Remember a lot of parents having concern.[/quote]

Did anyone express those concerns to the DCPCSB during spring 2015 when the application was under review? No one weighed in on the public comments with reservations? Why not?

If you are legitimately curious about this, go to the discussion on the new BASIS amendment.  It sounds like community, potential families, and even current families are concerned yet NOT ONE has said they will weigh in on the public comments.  NOT ONE.  Many have brought up that problem and yet poster after poster says they will not make their comments public:

Why?  Not sure.   These aren't my comments, so it's not my job to make them public and I know nothing about the application, the current school, or the future school.  Posters seem extremely concerned about this model for an Elementary School (exactly the opposite reasons that posters here are concerned about the CMI model for a Middle School).  It seems like people only care about their child and figure they'll just decide not to go there and don't care whether or not the school is created.

One importantly consideration, however, that may offer explanation -- amendments to an existing charter (as both CMI was and BASIS is) are rarely denied, so I'm sure posters feel like it is a futile effort.[/quote]
