Q3 – How did you come up with the growth enrollment plan that you have proposed?
We looked at best practices for maintaining the Montessori mixed-age environment, how fast our desired facility space would open-up, and a healthy growth rate for our small community realizing minimal impact on Pullman School District. For the latter we used our neighbor, Palouse Prairie Charter School as a reference point. Moscow School District is similar in size to Pullman and Palouse Prairie Charter used a similar growth pattern.
