B# A compelling business model at 412
As the state of education across the U.S. is generating increasing concerns, k12 provides a compelling
value proposition
-- Children continue to perform poorly on assessment tests geared to measure reading, writing and
math skills. The passing of legislation such as the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" which,
among other things, provides for increased funding for education and implementation of
achievement level standards, demonstrates the commitment of government to address the issue.
Technology and content platform easily leverageable to provide results-driven curriculum and service
—-- With $70 million invested in the development of the platform for kindergarten to 9th grade classes,
extension of the offering into new states and schools is expected te be achieved at relatively low
costs.
— k12 benefits from stable demand for its curriculum and services which is reflected by current
reenrollment rates of 65% to 70%.
-. Many of the direct costs are semi-fixed in nature (e.g., school administration) creating strong
economies of scale as this business continues to grow.
