Why is DCPS Cutting Ward 3 Schools’ Funding

[Anonymous]

Ugh! Why? We just can’t win. Why can’t our taxpayer dollars go to educate our children in our neighborhood schools? Our lack of sustainable public investment in this new generation is shameful.

You can easily have a spot in a non-Ward 3 school if you like it so much better.

The mayor does it every year.

Five dashboards, a million PDFs, and zero excel spreadsheets that would let anyone actually dig into the data.

Take a look around and you'll see it's not much better on our side of the river.

Ward 6 schools lost tons of funding as well. Our school now has one crucial service provider reduced to an itinerant position, which means Central DCPS filled. Given DCPS’ failure to fill open social work, psychologist and speech therapist spots at the moment, color me not excited to rely on them for this…

Our Ward 1 Title 1 lost hundreds of thousands in funding. These kids NEED the specialized staff that will be cut. It’s terrible.

Central Admin needs cuts, not the schools. It's a pathetic dereliction of duty and an affront to tax payers to cut the budgets of schools when they are already failing.

Our Ward 5 Title 1 lost funding despite enrollment forecast of +30-- that's 10% enrollment growth for us. So cry me a river, Ward 3. At least you have lots of rich parents.

The wind-down of COVID funding is causing a lot of cuts, that's to be expected and should not come as a surprise.

Except the mayor has ballyhooed an additional $144 million investment in schools. So where is that going?

Central hit a record high this year.

Because when it’s time to vote budgets go up. Budgets are always lower in non election years.
