I am a charter school parent and I am deeply disappointed in Mayor Bowser, who I voted for. DC Charter schools educate over 47% of students in the District. Yet the Mayor's proposed new funding shorts charter schools by millions of dollars.

When our kid's best and favorite teacher takes a job at another school or the school cuts a beloved extracurricular program next year, let's all remember that this Mayor doesn't see all kids in DC the same, and doesn't fund all schools the same.[/quote]

This is in the article you posted: "The change would increase base funding from $14,668 to $15,070 for every child enrolled in both traditional public and charter schools. D.C. law also directs more money to students based on certain factors, such as whether a child lives below the poverty line or has special-education needs."

It appears that publics and charters get the same amount per student.[/quote]
