[quote=Anonymous]Charters were told to do doomsday budgets by the charter board. This included assuming a cut of about $3500 per student for local per pupil revenue and to also assume that federal grants would be cut (this varies by school depending on how many economically disadvantaged and disabled students there are). You can do the math on the $3,500 per kid for your school but the average 400 kid school would have to cut 1.4 million. If the Mayor's fix comes through, maybe schools just have to cut 1,500 per kid. Certainly an easier number but will still lead to some hardships for schools. I do wish DC would do more to tell parents what these cuts could mean if budget authority isn't restored. But too many are wishing and hoping that this will just go away -- I'm not criticizing -- I work in a school and I'm one those people wishing and hoping.[/quote]
