Texas Charter School Development (TCSD) is thrilled to be partnering with Elevate Collegiate Charter School in Houston, TX. We focus on finding innovative solutions to address the unique challenges faced by our charter school partners. Our collaboration with Elevate Collegiate exemplifies this commitment. Faced with the need for additional classrooms, we embarked on a thorough exploration of options alongside Elevate's dedicated team. Together, we identified the opportunity to repurpose previously unused attic space into a functional mezzanine, effectively optimizing available resources and space. Recognizing the importance of accessibility, we sought a solution that would ensure inclusivity for all students. The decision to implement a lift, rather than a traditional elevator, underscored our joint focus on efficiency and practicality. This project underscores our collective dedication to educational excellence and equitable access. It stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and innovative problem-solving in achieving shared goals. #TCSD #PartnershipSuccess #InnovativeSolutions #EducationalExcellence #InclusiveSpaces

34. That is the average class size for a high school in Nevada according to the National Center for Education Statistics. How can a teacher effectively teach each student equitably in a class that large? I don't think they can. One of the reasons we began Lutheran Neighborhood Schools is to address the class size problem. At our schools each class has 10 students. Our teachers have the time, space, and resources to teach those 10 students. We're rethinking the accepted norms about education. This is just the beginning.
