[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former Basis admin and am now a principal at another school. I was not fired but left for a better paying job. Despite their claims, Basis has a hard time retaining admin and teachers. Few HOS stay in one school for more than a year and many admin and teachers leave after one year, either for better opportunities at other new Basis schools or they leave the organization. There is no difference at all in the curriculum between the independent schools and charters. In fact, when they hired me, they claimed the only reason they were opening private schools was because those states would not allow them to use their curriculum in charters so they had no choice. The independent schools are all tuition based charters. Also, most of their school openings were delayed due to the buildings not being ready. Our independent school opened two weeks late and Brooklyn was a year behind schedule and opened in a rented space that was an old paper factory. Would you pay 25k for that?[/quote]

Just curious, are you now at another independent school, a public school, or some other category of school?  Is the reason they have a hard time retaining teachers and admins because of pay?  If not, what other factors?  Or is their retention rate just not any different from any other public school, charter or otherwise?[/quote]
