[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one size fits all model isn't working in DC and DCPS needs to allow the students in Wards 2 & 3 to get an education that suits their needs. Then DCPS can focus on the more needy schools.[/quote]DCPS website says something about "autonomous" schools. Schools that have consistently shown high levels of student achievement have the opportunity to apply for autonomy status. These schools will be given flexibility in various areas (textbook adoption, budget allocation, scheduling, professional development, and curriculum) as a reward for past success and to promote innovation. [url]http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Beyond+the+Classroom/Special+Projects+in+Schools/DC+Collaborative+for+Change[/url] In theory a school could be autonomous regardless of where it is. That makes more sense to me than specifying a particular ward. OP, are you proposing the MoCo red-green schools? [/quote]
