[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the current head of school  is making sure that the interests of certain specific students are served. The attrition rate of teachers has been between 15-18% all these years. Many have left because they did not want to be part of the system and how it operates regardless of the promised bonus pays.[/quote]

All charters have pretty high attrition rates[/b]. To put BASIS' rate in context:

Washington Latin - 14%
Cap City ES - 25%
Cap City MS - 17.6%
Cap City HS - 13.5%
EL Haynes - 20%
DCI - 27%

Are the charters higher than regular DCPS? Wonder why DCI is so much higher?

DCPS doesn't release its attrition figures at the school level. They do release the percentage of "highly effective" teachers who are retained year to year on the "Scorecard" section of the school profile page.

Charter teachers are at-will, not unionized employees. Their pay is also lower across the board; in the school annual reports posted on the DCPSB website each school must include its highest, lowest and average teacher salary with the attrition rate.[/quote]
