[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS spends 35k per student system wide not only at Oyster but at Amidon too.  However, that includes money spent on sp Ed and all the admins at headquarters and facilities costs.  19k for charters includes their sp Ed costs, facilities, etc.  too.  Yes, charters have sp ed kids which they have to provide FAPE just like DCPS but have to do it with less money.

Despite the inherent unfairness in funding, charters are doing well including Kipp.

I looked it up. Oyster has $11,391 per student - this data point comes straight from the budget:

That factsheet appears to only list key staff funding.  Note the absence of all of the other things that Oyster Adams is provided via DCPS, such things like textbooks and materials, the building, utilities and other infrastructure (huge expenses).  Charters have to provide and pay for all those things on their own.  The cost shown in the factsheet is just a small percentage of the overall cost of Oyster Adams.  [/quote]
