[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the private foundation pay the cost of educating the OOS students? If the amount of financial support is less, the partnership should end.[/quote]

Any student whose parents both live out of state should be paying tuition, just like at every other DCPS school. Several dozen are according to the audit which surfaced the irregularities and fraud a year ago.

[b]That tuition pays for the 6.5 hour academic part of the day. The private funds pay for the 3-hour arts block for every student in the school. The amount of tuition is set by OSSE. [/b]

But you probably aren’t that interested in the facts.

As we're citing facts, the fact is that DC taxpayers pay for 100 percent of Ellington's capital expenditures (i.e., the renovation and expansion) and about 90 percent of Ellington's annual operating costs.  Your breakdown of who pays for what doesn't reflect the true 90-10 reality.[/quote]

And DC owns their building. What they do at Ellington is not different than at any other DCPS school.
