To determine WA's critical mass the following criteria will be assessed using a risk -analysis model: compliance, cost, and quality of student learning. Compliance includes federal and state guidelines, IB Standards and Practices, strategic plan, and directives from the Board of Trustees. Cost includes the actual financial outlay for each item being considered in addition to costs associated with alternative service delivery options. Quality of student learning refers to the ability of the academy to meet with unique educational needs of all learners while ensuring successful implementation of the IB curriculum. Short term as used here would be a period from now through the next 2 years.
