[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow-- a five year ban seems awfully long.[/quote]

Former charter school administrator (not Stokes) here: 5 years is what is on the MPD template. In most cases, schools re-evaluate the barring after a shorter amount of time and consulting with the parent. I generally held a conference 30 - 60 days after the barring and if the parent was willing to modify the problematic behavior, we'd lift it. (Link to MPD circular with template: https://go.mpdconline.com/GO/CIR_16_04.pdf)[/quote]

It is still a functional permanent ban, even if it is in the template.  Parents don't know that you might lift it.  It is designed to make them leave.  Knowing it is in the template makes me even more cynical about charters pushing difficult families out.[/quote]

You can also cross out the time limit on the template and write-in another number. [/quote]

Still, why does the template have 5 years?  For some schools that is longer than any child attends!  And what is a single parent to do if that happens?  It is an obvious attempt to get them to leave. [/quote]
