[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so much more expensive to do arts at Fillmore -- this article in the Current lays out the costs and the equity argument DCPS is making.

Would take a significant budget increase to make it available to all. And of course if they increase the DCPS per pupil allocation to make it available to all, the charters would be entitled to a similar increase for every student.

OP here. I get the equity argument, although the bus contract was pretty ridiculous in the past and certainly contributed to that. However, in terms of equity, are they factoring in what it would cost to remodel the schools so each of the Fillmore-supported schools has an art room? Obviously that could be incredibly costly. Space is completely maxed out at these bursting schools so how is equity applied when Fillmore closes and some DCPS schools have a measly art-on-a-cart program and others have a standard art-room program?[/quote]
