Teacher contract proposed in D.C. for the first time in five years

Hoping that this gets approved by the teachers. Seems like a good thing to spend our city surplus on.

Pleased that this also means some additional funds for charter schools/charter students, as the contract will increase the DCPS per pupil allocation. [/quote]

I wonder if the charter school funding increase will go to the charter teachers or into higher management salaries or more spending on "management fees".[/quote]

This isn't being done by the mayor to increase charter funding -- it's just the natural consequence of increasing the DCPS per pupil spending (which is good -- they could have decided to cut DCPS facilities or something else to pay for the teacher salary increases).

As for what the charter schools do with it, since there are dozens of independent LEAs, each schools' board would make its own decision about how to spend its allocation (salary increases, facility costs, classroom materials, extra curriculars or after care) but their annual budgets are reported to and released by the DCPCSB. And any contracts over $25,000 (which would include new management fee contracts) go to the DCPCSB for advance approval.
