Questions:
Ish-2.2(E)-Must we go through Rep/expansion process to buy a new building on-site? Yes, but hopefully more streamlined since its a bit different than actually replicating or expanding.
Greg-Confirming what we are voting for...what would a 'no' vote mean for us? Possibility to appeal to district and state, but probably not successful as the revisions are commonplace for charters within DCSD.
Kelly-Confirm, the removed items are no longer required, but can still be performed? Yes.
Greg-7(A)(V)-Enrollment affecting funding AFTER count date...how much is substantial? Review can be monthly, no real # for 'substantial', but Matt is not worried.
Erin-Special Education enrollment process? Keep this in mind as needs grow.
Carla-FYI enrollment waiver not necessary in accordance with DCSD open-enrollment, but we will maintain policy (just in addition to DCSD, not waived).
