A Quality Charter School Application

"It is my pleasure to inform you that your application will continue in the evaluation process." We received this message yesterday from Marlies Burns, the Director of Charter Schools at the Utah State Office of Education. Our application was returned along with this message. It had comments from "readers" on how we could improve our application.

Needless to say, we are excited that our application has made it thus far. Yet, in spite of our "sweat and tears" efforts to make it a quality application, it can still be better. The word quality itself implies that it can always be improved upon. This is what we have learned from Dr. Glasser's quality school theory which will be a foundation for Esperanza. If we want to teach our students about what it means to do quality work it appears that we are having an opportunity to set the example.
