[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@ 18:20 -- In addition to the law I posted, I also want to add that it is to the school's advantage to pick founding board members that can bring something to the table; expertise, connections, etc.  You need members that can raise money, get grants, experience with curriculum or the language/culture you are proposing.  Finding a space is seriously competitive now-- and having a real estate person, or a person that can help bring in $250K plus grants is what it takes now.  You will be competing with established charter companies that have millions to get them going.

All this is said not to discourage your efforts-- I think the idea is great and could strengthen the DC school system.  Being behind the scene at a popular DC charter has opened my eyes to potential pitfalls and work involved in starting and running a start-up school.  You must think of this as a business.[/quote]

I just want to thank you for this eye opening information. Wow! It's going to be tough, but not impossible.[/quote]
