[quote=Anonymous]If you look at the initial budget allocations for DCPS for SY 2015-16 each school's draft budget shows the percentage of at-risk students they anticipate will be enrolled next year. For example, Mann and Janney show 1% at-risk. Murch, Key and Lafayette show 3%. Compare that to a school like Savoy with 82% at-risk or Drew with 83% and it's easy to see how some schools have the odds stacked against them. Personally, I think ensuring that those schools have the resources they need to meet their population would be much more effective then saying some of them can escape their local school and go to a Janney or a Mann. Simple logistics present a challenge...only those at-risk kids with parents who are able to get them there will be able to take advantage of this "opportunity." And what about aftercare? At most of the upper NW schools the aftercare is costly and NOT run through DCPS. But what do I know?[/quote]
