[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought class sizes were smaller EOTP because of Title 1 funds.  They have more money to hire more teachers this smaller classes.[/quote]

Sorry just saw this, didn't mean to duplicate your comment. But yes, this is the reason. DCPS isn't just refusing to give NW schools more money for teachers.[/quote]

DCPS obviously does decline to give the schools money to reduce class sizes.[/quote]

Yes but they do so with all schools equally. There is not infinity money, sorry. But Title I schools have access to another pool of money, plus federal mandates that keep their class sizes lower. Like literally if a Title I's enrollment is resulting in class sizes over a certain limit, it results in additional funds to the school to hire another teacher. That has nothing to do with DCPS.[/quote]

DCPS is not shortchanging any school.  Title 1 schools have different funding sources.  DCPS is not going to give non Title 1 schools more money to make their funding analogous to Title 1 schools.[/quote]
