[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guess what? Many of us with kids who don't have special needs- which is most families- would like an option that is focused on academics and achievement.

Would I like it if Basis or other schools did better with SN kids? Sure. Am I much more concerned about my own kids' academic opportunities and outcomes? Absolutely. [/quote]

SN mom here. Totally fine with you being more concerned with your own kid - that’s natural. And that’s why a law exists (IDEA) to project SN kids, and why the charter board’s oversight here is appropriate. Your rights don’t negate my kid’s rights.

Great. Well the board recommended it continue. So job done.[/quote]

It's a conditional continuance.

By February 15, 2022, BASIS DC PCS shall:
a. Submit for DC PCSB’s review a draft recruitment and retention plan
targeted toward students with disabilities. At a minimum, the plan
must include specific strategies the school will use to 1) publicize its
program to the community as inclusive for all learners, and 2) target
recruitment efforts for families of students with disabilities.
b. Submit for DC PCSB’s review a draft special education plan in support
of an increased volume of students with disabilities in the school that
describes the academic programming, strategies, and personnel
required to ensure the school's capacity to offer special education
services across all settings and needs.
By March 29, 2022, the school shall submit final versions of each plan that
incorporate and address, to DC PCSB’s satisfaction, any feedback DC PCSB
provides. The school must reflect on its progress in implementing the plans
and enrolling and retaining students with disabilities in its annual report
every year leading up to its 15-year charter renewal.[/quote]

I would LOVE to see them take this to heart and consultw with Ivymount to create a GT/LD program that they proactively establish and advertise.  I doubt they will. [/quote]
