Three Questions
Here are mine:
1) Can we see it? :) Is the charter on file? How closely related is the charter to the school mission? Is the mission an adaptation of the charter?
2) Why? Why do all the work and all the research to apply for the charter without set knowledge that you will get the charter?
3) Do students fail? How does NLCP handle students who fail?
