Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2019 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need evaluate transcript. We need see if management describes something company already owns/operates for existing business has turned out useful for second much larger purpose, and recently begun turning that second use into real business without building new company. Let's parse transcript. Key themes: core Managed Public Schools strong. Career readiness initiative. They mention over 5,000 students moved into career readiness programs. They are building career readiness line of business. They have dedicated team led by Dr. Shaun McAlmont. They are using curriculum built using internally developed and externally available content. They also mention STEM Premier integration. STEM Premier acquired/invested? They say "we're working closely with our new partners, STEM Premier, integrating newer platform into our career readiness program and into other partnerships we established. This is unique opportunity for K12. Over next few years, we expect number of students with access to STEM Premier platform to more than double." Hmm. Question: SOMETHING THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS AND ALREADY OPERATES FOR ITS EXISTING BUSINESS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE USEFUL FOR A SECOND, MUCH LARGER PURPOSE — and company has recently BEGUN turning that second use into real business, without having had to build new company. Could be: K12's existing Managed Public Schools network/platform/capabilities and curriculum are being used for career readiness programs. They already have schools, curriculum, enrollment, teachers. Career readiness is a second use? Is it materially bigger? Management says "our goal is to build a robust career readiness business" and "move fast to be leader in career education at high school level with ability to serve many adult learners." They say "In near term, as in FY '20, our career readiness schools and programs should be driving a major portion of this year's students -- those years' student enrollment growth for K12 partner schools." So second use is career readiness, using existing K12 school operations/curriculum? They talk about initial enrollment over 5,000 students moved into career readiness programs. They are investing in career readiness line of business. They have dedicated team. They are "building" it.
