BASSE Charter School placed on formal review

Due to enrollment, financial and organizational concerns, Secretary of Education Cindy Marten, with the assent of the State Board of Education, has placed Bryan Allen Stevenson School of Excellence (BASSE) in Georgetown on formal review.

Formal review is the lawful investigation of a charter school to determine whether the school is violating the terms of its charter. Formal reviews may include on-site visits, inspection of educational records and other documents, and interviews of parents, charter school employees and others with knowledge of the school’s operations and educational programs.

BASSE, which opened in Fall 2024, serves students in grades 6 to 9 with plans to expand to 10th grade next year.
