I would simply reiterate what we are talking about here. This is a charter school that, although it has been spoken of as serving military families, it has no more of a mission to serve military families, I would suggest, than the school that my kids go to.

There is nothing in the literature that we have been able to find anywhere in this school that has any specific purpose to serve military families.
