[quote=Anonymous]The link above was already addressed - the budget figures cited are just a small part of their overall budget, it did not include facilities budget, textbooks or anything else, it was just for staffing alone. It costs a lot more to maintain and run a school than just staff salaries. DCPS is still spending almost twice as much per student through Oyster and other DCPS schools than what the charters get. And, by the way, charters cannot at all count on outside funding - many get none, and there is no stability in grants and foundation money.

If the link above was already addressed, why don’t you seem to comprehend it?  It’s clear:  Oyster spent $11,391 per pupil.  The staffing figure includes custodial services/salaries which is a facilities expenditure.  There is also $500,000 allocated for “Specialty Funds,” and $209,291 set aside for “Non Personnel Services.”  How do you know that $709,291 isn’t used to pay for textbooks, facilities or “anything else”?   Oh, that’s right, you don’t know.  You’re just grasping at straws and trying to belittle Oyster’s success…a popular pastime on DCUM.  You have no evidence to prove that DCPS is spending “almost twice as much per student” on Oyster as compared to other charters.  I have facts and figures.  All you have is your worthless opinion.  As far as I’m concerned, Oyster spends less per pupil to educate its students than immersion charters (11K vs. 19k), and with better results.  If you have links showing that more than $11,391 per pupil is spent at Oyster, then post them.  Until then, please be quiet and have a seat. 
Btw, there is no stability in DCPS funding either.
