[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kind of crap is why I only put in for charters even under the old system where there were six dedicated DCPS spots. DCPS just can't be trusted.[/quote] This is a bad reason to opt for charters.[/quote] I didn't opt for just any charter, and location was not my highest priority. I had seen several DCPS flip flops in our inbound school in the years I paid attention prior to entering and they just continue. Someone should chart out how many broken promises have emerged out of just the past ten years. There is no plan. None. So nothing ever actually happens that leads to actualized improvement. I voted for Catania because I thought he had a plan. I was scared about Bowser, but still hopeful. The announcements of the last couple days have just proven that we have at least four more years without a DCPS system of planning followed by actualization of those plans. I had hoped otherwise. But right now it is looking like there will be no decent plans in place before my child is in middle school. I hope I a Am wrong and my pessimism is misplaced, but either way, I am very happy I put my eggs in a charter basket.[/quote] I think your pessimism is misplaced. This reprogramming request started under Gray, was retracted, and is now being put forward again. It seems to me that DCPS is driving it, not necessarily the mayor. I say that as a (former?) Catania supporter and someone on the losing end of this funding shift.[/quote] Agree with this sentiment. While I am not defending Bowser, this is clearly an early, if not pre-administration conversation that probably began "we have an issue that we need to speak with you about that we feel requires immediately attention.... She clearly inherited this mess and was likely left with no choice regarding how to act.[/quote]
