"Amid all this, the charter school’s enrollment dropped by more than 25%. That decline represents a setback for the business-focused academy, which hopes to grow to hundreds of students in grades six through 12."

"The school’s founders had relied on the contractor’s assurances until MCPS flagged its concerns. “MCPS then recommended pausing service until a fully compliant vendor could be identified, and we concurred to prioritize student safety,” Graham wrote in an email."

Funny how MCPS holds them to a higher standard than themselves.

MCPS is going to be blamed either way. I’d rather keep kids safe.

MCPS doesn't keep students safe on their buses and school buildings.

Given the amount of kids that are transported safely everyday and the amount of kids that go to school safely each day clearly MCPS does keep students safe. Are the instances of issues or not so bright spots, sure. But just saying kids are generally unsafe is false.

And as someone said, MCPS would certainly catch blame if something happens with the charter school.

Anonymous wrote:Parents received an email late last month asking them to donate to a fundraiser to pay for new transportation options, with a goal of raising more than $100,000 by the end of October.

“We’re asking our MBLI family to help support transportation services and keep students moving,” the email read. “The work is intense, and we’re human — stressed, tired, sometimes sad — yet we’re also resolved and hopeful.”

Amid all this, the charter school’s enrollment dropped by more than 25%.

Mecca Business Learning Institute’s bus service paused earlier this year after officials in Montgomery County Public Schools’ transportation department flagged issues with the charter school’s vendors.

Staff found problems, including incomplete or inconsistent proof of insurance and issues with driving records.
