[quote=Anonymous] And when you look at the numbers and realize how little it will take financially to keep Fillmore open and fully operational you'll be even more disgusted. The five participating schools already contribute the equivalent of 10 full-time salaried teachers to the Fillmore budget and DCPS  is balking at the other costs, which are minuscule compared to other pet programs and projects of the chancellor and the mayor.  I'm not a professional educator but the chancellor is supposed to be. Has she somehow missed the decades of literature that prove that arts education benefits students in their traditional (math and reading) studies? And did her staff do you ANY kind of space or facilities study  before they made this decision? I'm quite sure the answer is no because all five of those schools are over enrolled withb no space to add in arts programming.  If I made these sort of big, impactful decisions at work without doing the proper research and feasibility testing I would be fired. [/quote]
