[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where can we find contracts under $100K, hmmm?

When will they fulfill the City Paper's FOIA requests about TenSquare, hmmmm?[/quote]

Charter school parent here...I see several sides of this and appreciate the insights of the PPs. I feel like the anti-charter rhetoric is a too heated and knowing the people at my school (after nearly 10 years at the same charter school) I have a hard time buying in to some of the stuff I read on DCUM. They are all kind people that seem like they are trying to do what is right for kids.

But...to your questions:

I, too, hope they respond to it soon- TenSquare is totally a problem and the PCSB needs to do something to make sure what is happening with this organization and schools is more clear.

That said, TenSquare is not a charter school and changing the laws that impact every school seems like overkill.

You can find every contract over 25K listed in the monthly consent calendar on PCSB's site-https://www.livebinders.com/b/2518905#anchor

While this is not the whole contract, you clearly know schools have submitted them to PCSB and you can FOIA the specific contract.

Also, not trying to be snarky, but how do you find a contract from DCPS over 25K? What about any contract in DC government? I don't see how this is the right threshold for schools but maybe I just don't pay enough attention to DCPS to know. Having sat on my school's board for some time, I certainly know we submit a lot to PCSB. [/quote]
