[quote=Anonymous]These thorny issues should be addressed in the public domain BEFORE BASIS DC OPENS. Parents should be told if the school is going to be a new breed, a charter catering as much to U middleclass families as low and moderate income. There's no whitewashing the issue in the city with the biggest black-white achievement gap. Quality of graduates in upper grades could be maintaned by replacing dropouts with area teens who could perform to the BASIS standard. But is the DC Charter Board open to supporting the city's first majority white/Asian high school? Is BASIS open to that? Public and franchise officials should answer these politically vexing questions. If the answer is no, the result on the college admissions front may still be more inspiring than at SWW, Wilson, Banneker and Latin in 6-10 years.[/quote]
