[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is starting at a charter school in the fall, and the website does not have info regarding supporters or donors. Would it sound aggressive if I emailed the principal and asked for this info? After the Walmart article I'd really like to know who is paying for my kid's education. It should be public, right?[/quote] [b]The entity that "funds" your charter school is DCPS. [/b] And, no, I don't see why public disclosure of donors should be mandated. Who exactly does that benefit? Should a school's PTA force anyone who makes a donation or buys something at an auction to tell the world? [/quote] No, the entity that funds your school is OSSE. OSSE also funds DCPS. However, unlike DCPS which also gets pots of money from the Mayor, charters have to go looking for support elsewhere. If the two were evenly funded, it wouldn't need to.[/quote]
