In my article, I referred to Green Dot's takeover of Locke High School to raise the question of «scalability» — whether reforms can be reproduced on a broad scale — and the question of
whether a charter takeover produces an educational miracle.
Hall adds that a district leadership's opinion of the
charter takeover model won't sway a final decision on
whether a school is selected by state leaders.
AAC cited its plans to partner with a growing
charter network, TeamCFA, in its application, but the state's consultant (the private firm SchoolWorks) questioned
whether the group — which had yet to ink any contract with TeamCFA — should be deemed eligible for the
takeover program, given state law calls for an operator with a «record of results» turning around low - performing schools.
