[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a DCPS school, but it also has an outside board and is traditionally given a lot of autonomy. But DCPS has become concerned about a lot of things-- sexual abuse of students, HR problems, and of course the residency cheating (which blew up in DCPS' face but I think even one residency cheating kid is an embarrassment to Ellington, and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city). Autonomy is a privilege and privileges can be lost if not treated with care.[/quote] Specifically, many of the teachers at Ellington are not DCPS employees and DCPS does not have a mechanism to hold Ellington accountable for following DCPS policies when, for example, a student (or former student) raises concerns about sexual misconduct by a staff member.
