Atty Alison Petersen speaks on behalf of W Chester district which has denied the Hillsdale charter app. Petersen tells #CAB that articles of incorporation are missing--even in revised app.

W Chester SD atty Petersen: Hillsdale app provisions violate PA charter law, incl paying board members and having board mtgs out of state--Hillsdale refers to these problems as "minutiae". #CAB

Atty Petersen: I could go on all day enumerating the problems w/ Hilldale charter app--academic, organizational, financial. One: no letters of support from local elected officials or community orgs. #CAB

Atty Petersen: important to understand that Hillsdale's curriculum DOES NOT align to PA standards in several subjects; what they do in other states is irrelevant. #CAB That is grounds for denial in itself.

"Classics" means "Christian conservative" is what the atty for Hillsdale is not saying here at #CAB. Hillsdale is an extremely conservative curriculum.

Atty Petersen: the answer to all the questions is NO. Atty for Hillsdale does not appear to understand what "curriculum alignment" means. Also, there is no social/emotional part of the curriculum. Portrayal of races in history lacked full perspective. #CAB

It is not an ad-hominem attack to say that an attorney's comments reflect a lack of understanding of this state's curriculum alignment requirements. #CAB

Hillsdale atty also skirting the issue of who decides what is "appropriate". #CAB

#CAB board member (and Belmont Charter CEO) asks about the deficiencies of Hillsdale app; atty says Hillsdale has "no intention" of violating any state requirements. Problem he skirts is that the law requires specific assurances in the application itself.

Wondering if Philadelphia Board of Education Pres Streater read this charter application; questions are very general. APPS members did read the app--we have some very specific questions about app deficiencies/omissions/misleading information #PhlEd
