| Mission | TOMORROW'S FUTURE LEADERS ARE SITTING IN OUR CLASSROOMS TODAY. WITH SMALL CLASS SIZES, A RIGOROUS CURRICULUM ALIGNED WITH THE COMMON CORE LEARNING STANDARDS, AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS, WEST BUFFALO CHARTER SCHOOL (WBCS) DEVELOPS AN EXCEPTIONAL FOUNDATION OF LITERACY SKILLS FOR ALL STUDENTS IN GRADES K-8. WEST BUFFALO CHARTER SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHERE DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED, INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES ARE ACCEPTED, AND STUDENT SUCCESS IS MAXIMIZED. | MissionDesc |

| Desc | WBCS BEGAN OPERATING IN AUGUST 2012 WITH GRADES K- 2, EXPANDING TO 4TH GRADE BY 2014. WHILE ITS ORIGINAL CHARTER CALLED FOR A K- 4 GRADE SPAN, THE NYSED DEPARTMENT APPROVED THE SCHOOL'S APPLICATION IN FEBRUARY 2016 TO EXPAND ITS PROGRAM THROUGH 8TH GRADE. THE APPLICATION WAS MADE DUE TO THE SCHOOL'S ACADEMIC SUCCESS IN GRADES K-4 AS WELL AS STRONG STUDENT AND FAMILY REQUESTS FOR AN EXPANDED PROGRAM. IN JULY 2016, WBCS BEGAN PHASE ONE OF A TWO-PHASED EXPANSION PLAN. THE FIRST PHASE WAS A $1.7 MILLION EXPANSION TO ITS ORIGINAL BUILDING WHICH THE SCHOOL FULLY SELF-FINANCED FROM OPERATING CASH FLOW. THIS EIGHT-CLASSROOM ADDITION WOULD PROVIDE SPACE FOR THE IMMEDIATE GRADE EXPANSION NEEDS WHILE CONSTRUCTION AND FINANCING WERE FINALIZED FOR THE REMAINING SPACE NEEDS. IN JULY 2017, WBCS BEGAN CONSTRUCTION ON PHASE TWO, A 30,000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION WHICH WOULD ACCOMMODATE THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, IMPROVED ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES AND A FULL-SIZED GYM. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS EXPANSION WAS APPROXIMATELY $10 MILLION WHICH INCLUDED $3.5 MILLION TO PAY OFF THE PREVIOUS MORTGAGE AND LEASE. THE TOTAL PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2018 AND CURRENTLY HOUSES GRADES K-8 WITH ENROLLMENT CAPPED AT 500 STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS ENROLLED A LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES (SWD) HOWEVER MANY STUDENTS WITH MORE SEVERE INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES WOULD OFTEN TRANSFER BACK TO THE DISTRICT UPON THE BUFFALO PUBLIC SCHOOL'S COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL EDUCATION (CSE) RECOMMENDATION THAT A MORE RESTRICTIVE (SELF-CONTAINED) CLASSROOM WOULD BETTER MEET THE STUDENTS' ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL NEEDS. DUE TO THIS TREND, THE SCHOOL CREATED ITS OWN SELF-CONTAINED CLASSROOM IN 2019 (8:1:1) AND NOW HAS TWO MULTI-AGE 8:1:1 CLASSROOMS WHICH ACCOMMODATE 16 STUDENTS REQUIRING A SELF-CONTAINED SETTING. THIS ALSO INCREASED THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT OF THE SCHOOL BY 16 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS WITHOUT INCREASING THE GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS CLASS SIZES. | Desc |
