[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turn it into a regular high school like Wilson with an ARTS focus as the side show. Arts at DE are no better than Wilson anyway. What we really need in DC is some relief to the overcrowding at Deal and Wilson. If we have to swallow the huge cost over run then let's make the HS work for many rather than the few 500 of which only half are DC residents.[/quote] +1. Just noticed at the school's DC profile than only 1% of students are ELL, and only 4% special ed, suggesting systematic discrimination against those groups. If some folks want to have their own little private school, why don't they pay for it?[/quote] Instead, DC pays over 80% of Ellington's capital costs and virtually 100% of its capital/renovation costs, with [b]zero accountability [/b]to Washington's taxpayers. Not a single member of the DE board of directors is appointed by the mayor, the schools chancellor or the DC Council.[/quote] Grosso and the Council could tell DCPS to change that tomorrow if they wanted to. It would require amending the operating agreement between DCPS and the Foundation. [/quote]
