[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is as it stands now in the city budget, charter schools will get approx $3500 less per student - which seems unfair to me (a taxpayer who pays for public - including charter - schools).  Per student allocation from the city should be the same, whether DCPS or Charter.  [/quote]

It is the same in the UPSFF. DCPS gets more because of IMPACT, and as a buffer to cover mid-year arrivals. Then there's facilities funding, you can look up that lawsuit if you want.

Bottom line, if charters want to do a performance system, take kids mid-year, do Early Stages, and have bigger class sizes, then their funding would change. And charter teachers are welcome to form unions if they like. Go right ahead. But don't reject the union and then want the benefits without doing the work.

Charter parents, FYI-[/b]- adding just one kid to each class would mean you could give your teachers a raise.[b] It's up to you![/b]

It's really not.  Parents have no power anywhere, be it DCPS or charters.[/quote]
