Impact

As you likely know by now, the NBEA in conjunction with the MTA organized and published a list of fifty-five questions pertaining to the innovation schools proposals, asking questions that would likely be answered by the conclusive budgeting and impact statements that have remained unreleased. Well earlier this week, the Renaissance proponents submitted their budget. No impact study. The Esperanza budget is due by end of business on Friday. No mention of an impact statement there either.

Keep in mind, the list of fifty-five set a deadline for the receipt of the requested information by Friday. We’ll see what actions can be taken once those questions are not answered by, as Mitchell termed them, “the two charter schools.”
