Public system isn't set up for that. They are designed to be one size fits all. At that point it would just be a charter school. But that kills the whole idea because Charter schools get normal funding while seems obvious that Renfrew would require additional funding.

They are a specialized non-profit organization that was spearheaded by individuals. There's not a chance in hell the public system would be able to replicate it. That's a model that should be copied not discouraged.
