[quote=Anonymous]I think there are several other big considerations where it comes to competetive sports in public schools - public school athletics are typically controlled by the Interscholastic Athletics Associations - and they are the ones who say which schools can or can't participate (and usually that also comes with a hefty annual price tag to schools) and they also typically have size categories for determining which schools can compete against each other. That puts charters at a disadvantage on several points - a.) unlike DCPS, they do not get public funding to cover the cost of participating in interscholastic athletics associations and b.) even if they can pay the price to get in, they are likely to be thrown into the "hinterlands" category by the athletics association, basically they will just be thrown the scraps of competition, while all focus goes on DCPS schools.[/quote]
