[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wait wait wait, the new model enables more EQUITY and some of you are ripping Bowser for that?[/quote]

I am all for providing more resources to children who need them, but not at the expense of schools that are currently serving their students well. The Mayor should just increase the DCPS budget so that improving learning outcomes doesn’t become a zero sum game.[/quote]

The poster above doesn’t get it.  All funding to schools are going to be cut including title 1 schools.  DC is just siphoning off some funds from the wealthier schools to make it less painful for the title 1 school.  Everyone loses but especially the title 1 schools as they have less money and can’t fundraise for basic necessities for the school.

Before there was money set aside for teaching staff salaries independent of the general money find to school.  Now they are saying that pot of money for teaching staff will no longer be there.  Principals will need to use the general fund money for it.  But of course they are not going to increase this funding the amount that schools will lose from teaching staff salaries. [/quote]
