[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI serves 5 charter elementary schools, each of which has about a 2% lottery admission rate. The school will already receive a capital allotment on top of its per pupil allotment, as do all charter schools.

I would be disinclined to vote for a mayor who would give this (unproven) school more of my tax dollars, given the paltry chance that most of the kids in DC could ever attend. I would also be disinclined to vote for a mayor that would get involved in the schools at this level of minutiae instead of figuring out how to fix the fire department so that it doesn't let people die in the streets.[/quote]

I agree with you PP.  I am also a YY parent who has a tix for the May 3rd event.  However, unless one of the candidates ask me my thoughts on the subject (doubtful), I will remain silent on this matter at the Gala.  But, I do agree with you.  DC should treat all the charters equally.  If DCI receives 6 million dollars, I think all charters with the intent of creating MS should also receive 6 million unrefundable dollars from the city.

It's not about the exact dollar amount, it's about developing policies, including allocation of funds, that encourage the creation and growth of strong middle and high schools.  DCI happens to be the one up right now, but there are plenty of others, and there need to be more.  We need to push all elected officials for plans and programs to accomplish this.  As already stated all over this site, "Alice Deal for All" is not a plan or a program.[/quote]
