[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]KIPP is saying they've raised the money for the renovation outright - from private funding - I don't know if its true or not but they have had private donors in the past pay for renovations that were not out of public funds. Smilow Campus (the former arts and tech campus in lincoln heights in ward 7) was renovated with a private donation, not a loan. 
If they want to invest more private money into ward 8 I am in full support.[/quote]

The last time I checked the financial audits done by DCPCSB of KIPP they had a ton of money. Far more than any other charter system in the city. I wouldn't be surprised if they had raised private funds and were paying for it outright.

Additionally, I have a child at KIPP and its been a fantastic experience. From PK3 - 5th grade my child has loved school and we'll be staying until we either move, or my child decides they're ready for a change. It's in no way militaristic (that's a racist trope meant to imply that black children are incapable of learning unless they are in a military like environment, and its completely untrue). Please don't talk about their academics if you haven't actually been in a building, I find their behavior expectations to be high but age appropriate and lovingly enforced.[/quote]
