[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet it’s Ward 6 schools who are actually at the bottom of the funding list. How about explaining why that would be the case???

Where are you getting your numbers from? I'm seeing CHEC and Wilson/JR as the lowest funded high schools:

If you look at elementary, Ward 6 is getting more, with 1/3 of the schools in Ward 6 having higher funding than the highest funded school in Ward 3.[/quote]

That's because school funding discrepancies are usually explained by funding for having at-risk kids in your school population. As a parent with kids at two different Ward 3 schools, I have absolutely no equity-based grounds on which to complain about D.C.'s school funding practices. Whatever needs the the schools up here think we have that the city isn't meeting, the community has no problem whatsoever paying for it, and I'm certainly not going to start advocating for taking money from schools elsewhere in D.C. and sending it to my neighborhood.[/quote]
