[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised the cuts aren't bigger, in general. Maybe losing some charters helped bring the school totals down?[/quote] Probably not. When charters close, the students wind up at another charter or DCPS and the funding follows them. Also, the overall budget for schools is up.[/quote] Well yes, but it may be slightly more efficient to run fewer schools and have the schools that do exist be closer to their enrollment targets.[/quote] There are certainly benefits to efficiency though there’s some evidence that larger school systems have higher ratios of central office personnel than smaller ones. Even so, in DC if there are 50 thousand students in charters, the per pupil amount allocated in the budget does not change whether there are 40 charter schools or 50 charter schools. The number of students drives the allocation, not the number of schools. [/quote]
