[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the board will ask about it at tonight's meeting[/quote]

The Board voted to grant the existing BASIS another 5 year charter as expected.

The withdrawn application to expand did not come up. [/quote]

Extended without condition.  The DCPCSB simply does not have the issues with BASIS that some of you would like to imagine they do.  I suspect BASIS withdrew the application because it needed more work.

As for Ward 7/8 yet another charter got approved to serve, let's also not pretend that schools aren't willing to serve those wards.   BASIS already has students from 7 & 8.  BASIS opened its current school with the intention of it being centrally located to serve students from all wards.[/quote]

They'd been working on it for more than a year. Basically they just failed their own comprehensive exam. It is embarrassing.[/quote]

Maybe that's your view but it isn't mine.  It was always contingent on finding good facilities or a space that they could convert to being an appropriate school space.  That's a circumstance that's beyond their control.  They are still looking.[/quote]
