“The resolution was a surprise to us,” Ashenbaum said. “We met with (DPS’ evaluation) committee and got pointers on our application. We were told, here are the things that are good, here are the improvement areas you need. That meeting was very friendly. … Obviously the full committee that evaluated us didn’t score us as well as we would have liked.”
DPS administrator LaShawn Graham, who led that evaluation, told Dayton’s school board last week that a committee of administrators scored Dayton Tech on areas including academic success, organizational performance and fiscal soundness. She said that process is a result of the recent House Bill 2 charter school reforms.
