[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before NAF, there was consistency in academy programs either between schools or between programs within a school.  The schools get a lot of funding for going thru NAF and that is how the directors are paid. Before NAF academy directors were not compensated for that role, it was usually a teacher who topknot on as a volunteer. This if that teacher worked insane overtime in their own dime, the academies were dynamic and interesting, if that teacher left, the academy fell apart. In theory, with a pd director, that wouldn’t happen. [/quote]

I am not sure it is important to have consistency in academy structure between different schools. And they mostly already taught the same classes so the consistency in teaching content was already established. And by the way, DCPS pays NAF for the branding, not the other way around. And does the academy head really need to be a director level position? That is a high level position - 130k salary or even more. JR has multiple academy directors. When teacher positions are being cut for next year, you have to consider whether this is really the best use of limited dollars [/quote]
