[quote=Anonymous]For anyone here with kids in DC charter schools, I wanted to share this petition asking the DC Council to fund charter school students at the same per-student level as students in DCPS: https://www.change.org/EqualStudentFundingFY27 As I understand it, the Mayor’s proposed FY27 budget creates an approximately $2,000 per-student gap between charter school funding and DCPS funding. For a school like Mundo Verde, that would add up to nearly $2.5 million — about the equivalent of 25 teacher salaries. Signing the petition is the quick action, but families can also contact DC Councilmembers or testify on May 7 to support fair funding for all public school students. Here’s a helpful doc with more background, talking points, action steps, and sample scripts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GZ1TtySCtdqHus1-vL4RcrAKaSQgRsiReb0OmWGlwNg/edit?usp=sharing[/quote]
