Even if this person is a troll, I don't know any parent who would disagree with wanting the best and safest education possible and I hate Trump.

And yes I do support vouchers, charters, homeschooling, and strong public schools as a lifelong Democrat!

What I would like to see is more accountability and transparency for vouchers and charters especially in regards to finances and also requiring that any school that receives public monies be required to spend at least 90% of the money on the students.[/quote]

[b]Probably a different threat - but how would do you define spent 'on the students.' Do teacher salaries count? Rent/mortgage payments? Teacher benefits like 401K or retirement? Liability, workers comp insurance? [/b][/quote]

I would like to see at least 90% spent on the students which would include teachers' salaries and benefits, insurance, student classroom supplies, extra-curricular activities, and the school building (as long as the terms for the building are transparent and not a cash cow for the "owners"). I don't think the owners of the educational management group should be able to make more than a DC school superintendent and I also think that educational management groups need to be fully transparent as well but of course DeVos is against this. :roll: [/quote]

So does DCPS' "downtown" expenses and salaries count as part of your 90%?[/quote]
