[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can this system continue?  IF DE is a public school, it should be treated like one. Is the council at least working on changing the governance structure?[/quote]

The school is legally a joint venture between the Kennedy Center, GWU, and DCPS.

DCPS could seek to renegotiate the agreement but never heard anyone express interest in that. [/quote]

Here. All three joint venture partners could and should be held accountable.[/quote]

The whole board should be replaced and a Special Master appointed to oversee the school's affairs.

[/quote]

Yes. Probably that's the only way to stop digging the huge and growing financial hole.[/quote]

The Duke Ellington Board has nothing to do with "the huge and grwoing financial hole.' They didn't sign the contracts or manage the vendor or create the requirements.

Perhaps we should replace all of DGS and appoint a special master to run that agency.

That would be a great idea.  During the B-A-D  B-A-R-R-Y era, a majority of DC agencies operated under special masters and of course the entire DC government was subject to a federal control board.  That's eventually how we got Anthony Williams, the best DC mayor ever.   The Gray-Bowser trajectory has a back to the future quality about it, as in  Barr.y Era II[/quote]
