[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone considering editing their lottery rank list to prioritize DCPS over charters on the assumption that if the CR passes then Charters will be hit harder than DCPS schools? Is that a thing? The last chance to change rank order is 5p today which is why I am asking. [/quote]

No the schools that will be hit the hardest are the DCPS title 1 schools who get more fed funding and local funding.  That is going to be 1st off the chopping black then extraneous social service supports, etc…. Families at these school have no way to help make up these huge deficits.

The schools with the highest need kids will be hit the hardest, not the popular charters with wealthier families, less at risk kids, etc….Plus these schools families can help with donations and have strong PTO with fundraising capacity.  These characteristics also apply to DCPS schools WOTP.

DCPS Title I schools will be hurt. But there are also Title I charters. Schools like Monument with 80% disadvantaged kids, 50% special education, 15% homeless and Maya Angelou with over 80% disadvantaged, 30% special needs and 25% homeless.

However one feels about any of these schools, this isn't the time for a DCPS versus charter moment. Nor is it a time for WOTP or EOTP beefs. All schools are going to be hurt if the House doesn't come back and pass the Senate bill for DC. The fight needs to be for all of education -- public or public charter. The fight needs to be for DC to be able to handle its own money.[/quote]
