[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, for one, would be perfectly happy if they lost their charter and converted to private. Two students there and it would be a stretch, but worth it to keep the school going.

And it would be such a relief to not have to read these crabs-in-a-barrel comments from anti-charter people who want everything to be the SAME, even if the "SAME" is pretty horrible.

For the record, DCPS does a pretty horrible job with SPED - yes they have programming but the students don't learn much once you get past elementary school. [/quote]

It's not that people want it to be the same.  People want BASIS to follow the law.  Is that so awful?[/quote]

They ARE following the law.

Read the report before you comment further.  You are just embarrassing yourself.[/quote]

Then why are there so many violations listed in the report?[/quote]

Have you read any of the the reports on other DCPS and DCPSC? They ALL have violations of many types.[/quote]

whatever point you are trying to make, you are making it very badly![/quote]

The point PP is making is that charter reviews all show many voilations over the years. This is normal -- and good. The school corrects those things and marches on.[/quote]

how many charters have their charters placed at risk and are heavily criticized for doing worse than other charters? there’s nothing normal or good about it. [/quote]

It's not at risk. They approved it and want them to amend their marketing. That's bascially the entire thing.

Meanwhile over at MV:

During fiscal year (FY) 2017, Mundo Verde PCS properly reported 11 procurement contract packages. During FY 2018, the school properly reported five procurement contract packages. The inconsistency between the number of procurement contract submissions may be due to many of the FY 2017 contracts being reported as multi-year contracts, which would not require resubmission the following year.

SPED: Of the seven monitored areas, Mundo Verde PCS was required to take corrective action in four areas during the review period. Further information on OSSE’s special education compliance findings is reported in the remainder of this section.

OSSE monitors schools in three areas related to the timeliness of creating and
maintaining compliant Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students: Initial
Evaluation, Reevaluation, and Part C to B Transition.
Initial Evaluation37
An initial evaluation is a process used to determine whether a student has a disability and, if so, the nature and extent of the special education and related services the student needs. Mundo Verde PCS was flagged for noncompliance for not adhering to the required timeline for initial evaluation during the following school years:
§ SY 2019 – 20 Q1 (July 1, 2019 – September 30, 2019)
§ SY 2019 – 20 Q2 (October 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019)
§ SY 2019 – 20 Q3 (January 1, 2020 – March 31, 2020)
§ SY 2018 – 19 Q1 and Q2 (July 1, 2018 – December 30, 2018)
For comparison, across the last five years, Mundo Verde PCS performed better than
approximately 12.7% of LEAs, receiving a finding in four reporting periods out of the 14
applicable reporting periods.
38 OSSE confirms that the school has addressed SY 2018 – 19
findings and SY 2019 – 20 findings are not yet due for correction.

Indeed that's quite awful.  MV and BASIS are both doing a bad job, worse than most other charters![/quote]
