[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just reading her position pPer on education today and was alarmed at her commitment to finding more private funding for DCPS and school reform. Private funding usually comes with strings attached and in the education arena those finders and strings make this voter very wary. I'm leaning toward Catania. Thoughts?[/quote] Private funding also comes with the murky shadows of private insider dealing. Look how the insular Ellington board paid the former Principal a compensation package 3 times the market rate, citing private funding sources. Of course, at the same time they were citing a shortage of funds as they were laying off full time faculty! There is too much potential for non-transparency, conflicts of interest and shadow governance where public schools become dependent in substantial part on private fundraising.[/quote]
