[quote=Anonymous]I read Jay Matthews article this morning regarding tuition paying students at DCPS. A few things that did not feel right to me as a DC taxpayer: 1 - More than 10% of Ellington students are not DC residents! For a school that is so far over budget, we are giving it away to our neighbors. 2- DC special programs (my tax $) are paying for special programs that are application only for VA residents. We paid for Arlington residents to travel to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. I am confident that there was a DC resident who applied for the program and was turned down. " ....Our daughters benefited by experiencing things that may not have been possible at their home school,” Adriane said. “For example, Nia was sponsored by DCPS to travel to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands in the summer of her junior year" Who do we call b/c this is not how our tax money should be allocated.
