  The ABCs of the Proposed Charter School
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 annual operating costs that the Park Service would incur in taking over the SABIS parking lot would be offset by the costs the Park Service would forgo as a result of conveying the parking lot at Young Street and Southern Avenue to SABIS.
