[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately with the Chancellor's hyper focus on equity, we can expect more cuts to Wilson funding. They keep thinking that if they pour more and more money into low performing schools, it will make a difference without any regard to how much money is already being wasted in the system. Wilson is still known as an upper NW elite school even though it probably has 600+ FARMS students (more than the entire population of some other schools). [/quote] Chancellor Wilson said on the Kojo show the other day that the DCPS has already done a much better job than other school districts with respect to equitably allotting funds. [b]I think his answer was connected to a question about sombody's suggestion that the Ward 3 PTOs should be forced to give some of their charitable contributions to schools that don't have high-contributing PTOs. [/b] Based on the Chancellor's answer, I think he believes the current budget policies are already doing enough to address the "equity" argument. But, in the end, I guess that means he believes DCPS doesn't need to cut Wilson's funds any more than it already has.[/quote] Hard to believe by some that love to bash Ward 3, but several of these PTOs already give money to poorer schools. Without being made to do so! [/quote]
