I think it’s true that JLG as a mayor will negatively impact charters. There is a constituency of Ward 4 and 5 parents plus WTU who believe that charters are now threatening the progress that DCPS has made. They are smart enough to mostly keep their opinions off this message board, but they want EOTP students who are peeling off for the “good” charters to be rerouted into Wells, Coolidge, etc. They’re probably right, but it’s too
soon to unwind the charter school system in DC. And I say this as a gung ho DCPS parent, “low standards” and all.

OK but you cite no evidence other than “I think.”

Just more garbage posting.[/quote]

the JLG supporters are rather Trumpian in their "fake news" / "garbage posting" type rhetoric.  [b]JLG wants to cut charter funding by $9K per student. [/b] That IS negatively impacting charters.   Under JLG the charter sector will experience death by a thousand cuts.  Cut the funding, require additional bureaucratic requirement burdens which DCPS does not have under the guise of "transparency" even though the DC Council already passed transparency laws applicable to charters.  JLG is in the pocket of the WTU.  If that concerns you (and if you are a user of the charter sector, it should) then hold your nose and vote for McDuffie.[/quote]

FWIW JLG's official position is that she is opposed to Mayor Bowser's budget because it doesn't give equal funds to charter schools. I have no idea what anti-charter things she's done in the past, but she's actually on the record against this position.[/quote]
