[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Unless I missed it, nobody has mentioned that the charter board last night refused BASIS's request to expand enrollment. Based on tweets I read, BASIS justified the request on the need for more students so that the school could pay its rent. When asked to provide an educational justification, officials were unable and the board unanimously rejected the expansion request.

Creative Minds' request to expand was also rejected.

But BASIS is still allowed to expand as originally planned. [b]It also may be par for the course for the charter board to turn down a school's request for an increase in the cap in their first year of operation[/b].[/quote]

Yes, I think that is correct.

So how is it that BASIS didn't reach their first enrollment target when they opened and now ask for more money? I thought the whole Basis approach was that if you work hard enough you can pass your comps and get promoted. Looks like BASIS did not pass it's pre-comps of initial and mid-year enrollment. By their own methodology, shouldn't they just work harder to get and keep students before they get promoted, i.e. more money? [/quote]
