Inside Colocation

The public school where I've been teaching for the last 8 years has been targeted for a "colocation" with a corporate-model charter school. Most people, including me, don't know what a colocation looks like, though we've heard bleak stories. I've started this blog to document it as best I can.
Due to a generous grant, our school has a new Mac lab. This room is being taken by Success Academy. There is no room upstairs that has the necessary wiring for our computer lab. According to the Building Utilization Plan, the charter school is entitled  to 12 full size and 3 half size classrooms for September. By the best estimates, the amount of  space actually being taken by them includes those 15 rooms (one being the computer lab), plus 1 full size,  2 quarter size, and 1 half size classrooms and 3 large supply closets.  Already they are looking to take more than their allotted share.
