[quote=Anonymous]I too think teachers should have more flexibility and we need additional people who are trained in delivering student education or offering a safe space at school so that is possible for students.

Unfortunately, the current UPSFF formula is based on a certain model and finding the funding to have more people in a building to not only cover, but enrich the student experience is going to require the UPSFF to be appropriately funded.

ICYMI there have been advocates that testify to this every year during the budget season. The UPSFF advisory group says "it takes x amount of money to do all the things that have to happen to adequately support students. The recommendations have not been followed for more than a decade.

So, when I see DC Council step up with a bill like this, it makes me want to scream in their faces...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

It is so sad to see this board and our communities divide on this topic. We need more staffing and support in our schools and we need to PAY FOR IT.

I realize people think DCPS central office is bloated and DC Charter school salaries are too high...blah, blah, blah. That is all just noise.

An independent group of experts told DC council and executive to fund at one level and they never have. Let's put the blame where it belongs, not with parents or teachers who want more. [/quote]
