[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years of scandals means that DCPS wants to take over. [/quote] Yes, the made-up residency fraud scandal and a sexual misconduct scandal mishandled by a previous administration and the police means DCPS should obviously take over. By all means take one of the few high schools in the city that has a nearly 100% graduation and college acceptance rate and let DCPS screw around with it. The DCPS "takeover" has been walked back quite a bit. At this point, from what I understand, DCPS and Ellington have mostly worked out an agreement about alternative certification for arts teachers who do not have an education degree. I believe they have agreed that the principal will stay on as DESAP principal, which is overseeing both the DCPS and arts side of things. There are a few sticking points, however. Most importantly, teacher and administrative pay. Teachers at Ellington took a pay cut a few years ago when DCPS cut the budget.[/quote]
