[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone watch the public hearing last night?  Did people show up to speak?[/quote]

About 6 current BASIS parents or prospective parents spoke. All were supportive of the expansion.[/quote]

10:52 PP here.  Also a current BASIS parent.  I'd love to hear what they had to say -- what were their reasons for being in favor.  I'm not against, but I'm not in favor either -- I just don't understand it well enough.[/quote]

If you go to the 2 hour mark in the hearing webcast (available at the link above) you can hear it. The statements were short (time limit).

To paraphrase, parents of current student spoke of how much their students are learning at BDC and how they liked the fact that the school expected excellence. A couple said they wished their children would have been able to start earlier to make the 4th to 5th grade transition easier.

Parents of prospective students spoke of wanting high quality options for their children and feeling like BASIS would give them a strong option. The word "excellence" came up a lot.
