[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basis Ed keeps 20% of the $15k per student allocation right off the bat. There are no fields, no libraries, no nurse, and very few textbooks. They pay their teachers less than any other charter in DC, then ask their families EVERY WEEK in a newsletter to donate to a fund for their salaries. meanwhile, the Blocks are disgustingly wealthy.[/quote]

If I am not mistaken, there are a number of staff members and other services provided with that 20%.

As for books, there are quite a lot of books and often a classroom set and a set given to students to keep at home for the school year to use. As for the classes with out books, they are essentially  given a text book and more via about a couple hundred of pages of handouts for each class without textbooks over the course of the school year. These handouts cost money since they print them out for each student. We have found the handouts to be very thorough and comprehensive.[/quote]

Here is the budget in 2014, as well as the salaries. If you see how many FT employees ar paid by the $2.9 m, you can do the math. http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/2014-2015%20Annual%20Budget(0T6M)(BASISDC).pdf[/quote]
