[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand point #1 above. The number of private sped placements from DCPS has plummeted as has the number of lawsuits filed against DCPS seeking such placements (bc they are much harder to win now). Of the private placements that still happen, very few go to Lab school. [/quote] The proposed lease is a give-away to the Lab School. The rationale is that DC needs to subsidize private special-ed schools in order to serve the kids that DCPS can't. I'm not saying that rationale is valid -- the number of DCPS placed kids served at this location is perhaps a dozen and a half -- but by entering into a 50 year lease DCPS is signalling that it expects never to solve the special ed problem.
