[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We tried to go to the open house on Saturday that is posted on their website. No one showed. Nor did they respond to emails at the posted email address for RSVPs. Multiple families waiting outside in the freezing cold also RSVP'd. Not a great sign...[/quote]

That's the kind of stuff that should make the Board livid.[/quote]

I think you guys should also complain to the PCSB. The SSMA Board is clearly not going to act.[/quote]

They did - last year. The PCSB does not intervene in these issues; their only oversight role, under the law, is to review charter applications to open and continue schools, assess if academic goals are being met and review financial management. Only the latter two will get a school closed or reprimanded. They can and do also intervene behind the scenes if they receive reports of problems with how they handle student discipline (e.g. suspensions/expulsions) and meet the needs of special needs students.

The SSMA Board is really the only entity with leverage. You could try to get a reporter with the Washington Post or City Paper interested in it as a story (publicity could work)[/quote]
