[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. As a charter school parent and DCPS parent looking for someone to vote for, I've been disappointed with Janeese Lewis George so far.

At the DC Council meeting yesterday, Councilmembers discussed funding for charter school students. Mayor Bowser's current budget short-changes charter school students by allocating a lot less money per student for charter students compared to DCPS students. I was disappointed that JLG did not speak up to advocate for fair funding for charter school students at the DC Council. That was literally the topic of discussion, and JLG stayed silent. CMs Mendelson, Pinto, Parker, Crawford, and Felder all spoke up in favor of fair funding for charter school students and said more money needs to be allocated to fill the funding equity gap than what the DC Council allocated yesterday.

Also, JLG and her office have not responded to constituents who have reached out to ask her to support equal funding for charter school students. My guess is that she is so concerned about what the WTU thinks that she is not fully considering the needs of charter school families -- even though charter school students make up almost half of all public school students in DC.[/b][/quote]

100 percent this. But in addition to supporting the WTU no matter what, I think in her heart she dislikes charters. Whenever she has to say the word you can feel it. [/quote]
