[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could require charters to backfill empty spots with kids new to DC or expelled from other schools.  But no, because their precious, precious culture demands that neighborhood schools deal with those groups instead.[/quote]

The cross sector task force is working on this issue. But they, like DCPS and OOB, have to follow the wait lists they have. [/quote]

No, some charters don't backfill at all.  [/quote]

Right. But they are trying to figure out a way to make it happen. Part of the challenge is how the money is distributed. If that can be solved then they can force schools to do it. [/quote]

They are forcing neighborhood schools right now.  So why can't they force charters?[/quote]

Because DCPS is funded differently. For 2016-17 a DCPS school budget is created / funded based on its 2015-16's enrollment. Charters are funded on the number of students that are in a school in October 2016. This creates issues for schools in both sectors. [/quote]
