Mastery Charter @ Cleveland....hmmm

In April of 2012, the School District of Philadelphia authorized Mastery Charter Schools to seize control of the Grover Cleveland Elementary School in the Tioga-Nicetown of Philadelphia, forcing all of its teachers and principal out to choose other schools for the furtherance of their academic careers. http://webgui.phila.k12.pa.us/offices/r/renaissance-schools

Under the renaissance model of school management, a certain percentage of the teachers can reapply to work at Cleveland with Mastery at the helm, generally for less pay and longer hours.

According to Mastery Charter Schools' website for Grover Cleveland,
 "During the months of July and August, there will be lots of construction at Cleveland. There will be new paint, windows, furniture, bulletin boards, updated plumbing, electric and completely new lighting school-wide!  The exterior of the building will be undergoing some major reconstruction which will prevent leaks from reoccurring in the building."

I have just a few questions.

1.  Why couldn't all of this happen while Grover Cleveland Elementary School was still under school district control?
2.  Why were our children forced to come to a school without those particulars remedied?
3.  Does the school district believe that environment has no impact on learning?
4.  Why couldn't the district fix those problems and give the children and staff at Cleveland a chance before allowing them to become a charter?

So allow me to rewrite those news notes and let me see if I have this correct?
"Prior to the months of July and August, there weren't construction projects at Cleveland. There was old paint, old windows, old furniture, old bulletin boards, outdated plumbing, outdated electric, and old lighting school-wide! The exterior of the building had not undergone major reconstruction which allowed leaks to reoccur in the building."

Things that make you go hmmm!
