[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should really check your facts - and priorities.  The city pays "handsomely" for ALL students, including yours.  Are students with learning disabilities not worthy of the same public investment?

How dare you question the value of Lab to the city.  To the families whose children have been so disserviced by the traditional public school system that they have been placed in Lab, it is certainly worth it.

The over 100 Lab families who come from the DC public schools want the same opportunities for their children as you want for yours.

Lab gets tuition money from DCPS for their services. If they want a subsidized building too, let them give some breaks on tuition. I'm not anti-Lab -- I had a kid in a different private special education placement, and I understand that system intimately.

Or, if we're giving sweet deals on buildings, then let's give them to other private special education schools, too. And let's do it above board if we're going to do it, not with "emergency" legislation.  There's no reason Lab is ahead of them in line, or ahead of DCPS or charter needs, no matter how good or bad a school it is. Let them run a capital campaign and build a space.[/quote]
