The city spends the same on Ellington per pupil as every other high school. The extra money spent there for the arts faculty and curriculum is raised from private sources.

The capital budget is a whole separate thing.[/quote]

You're ignoring the main point:  that well over 1/5 of the students at Ellington may be going there on the taxpayers' EXTRA dime.  If those kids are not D.C. residents, the effect is DCPS paying twice, three times, as much per (real) D.C. student at Ellington than for D.C. students at other DCPS schools, where hopefully all of the students are actually D.C. residents.[/quote]

Is this new math. If these were all DC students (and the evidence is that they mostly appear to be anyhow and OSSE was wrong), the school would still have the same number of students and would be paying the same amount per pupil.
And since that number of out of town students would be well over the 10% cap, DC would not be getting any of that back in tuition.[/quote]
