[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what is the extra $185 million that is going to DCPS outside of the UPSFF meant for?  That is going against the legal requirement for equitable funding with the UPSFF, so can someone explain why DCPS can get this and not charters?  [/quote]

PP again - and if this is for the retroactive pay, isn't this increasing the per-pupil spending at DCPS while not increasing it at charter schools? Unless I misunderstand how salaries factor into the per-pupil spending, doesn't it include salaries, among other items? Because this is retroactive, it really means the per-pupil spending for DCPS should be recalculated for the years considered retroactive.  If the DCPS teachers had received that raise right off the bat, their per-pupil funding would rise. And charters' should have risen with it.  Next year, those increased salaries will be calculated as per-pupil spending, not a special carve out. Sure, I agree that charters should spend any increase on salaries.  But at the end of the day, isn't it about equitable per-pupil funding?  [/quote]
