[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any of the programs bad? Went to many open houses and they all seemed similar to me.[/quote] how many schools did you visit that had FARMS populations of higher than 50%?[/quote] Not to change the subject, but can you explain FARMS to me. I see it referenced a lot and I have no idea what it is. Thanks.[/quote] FARMS stands for Free and Reduced Meals. It is an indicator of the percent of low income children at a school. It is also tied to Title 1 funding - but I am not exactly sure how. Title 1 funding was a large discussion earlier this year within the DC Public Schools section as schools that were not Title 1 were getting their subsidized aftercare programs cut. (I am not sure where this landed but there was a lot of concern over this in August)[/quote]
