[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weren't they getting a sweetheart lease where they paid like $80,000 for a 25,000 square foot space for 25 years?   Sign me up for that!  That's a lovely deal for a 45$K a year private school.[/quote]

Current tuition:

Elementary	  $50,650
Intermediate $50,650
Junior High	  $51,250
High School	  $52,500[/quote]

For the umpteenth time. Lab is a [b] Special. Education. School. [/b] Yes, it takes a lot of experts and resources to teach kids with diagnosed learning disabilities. If DCPS had continued to fund DC students at Lab, the school wouldn't have needed to charge more and get the best deal they could on lease. Lab was not designed as a high-cost school for political elites. It sucks that it's turning into one. But DCPS bears a lot of the responsibility.

What? You're blaming DCPS for not wanting to pay $50K plus per kid?  Maybe if Lab didn't insist on a sweetheart lease for that property DCPS would have some more funds available to send its special needs kids to a school that only rich kids can afford. [/quote]
