CCSF alleges that SABIS failed under their management agreement to adequately monitor and report the academic progress of the students, perform necessary maintenance, repair and work to school facilities, ensure the quality of teaching, make appropriate budgets and produce audited financial statements and accurately report student eligibility for public funds.
SABIS would establish a "Parent Connection" in which parents would be automatic members, eligible to join any committees or activities.
Further, SABIS states in the application that the corporation would loan funds to the school for start-up costs, but there is no mention of the specific outlay anticipated or the interest rate to be applied.
The SABIS® administration was sent to Glickman elementary--the second poorest performing school in Springfield--to assume responsibility of the education of the enrolled students.
SABIS® has two ways of teaching: it teaches you academics, which is the schools main goal, but it also teaches life skills that youll need no matter where you are or what youre doing.
The SABIS® charter was renewed, in part, due to the schools overwhelming success on the MCAS and Iowa tests, which is due to the schools challenging academic program.
