[quote=Anonymous]PP again: Another thing I just thought of that those whining about more independence may not know is that DCPS offers opportunities for schools to become autonomous. Here is more info for those who'd like to press their schools about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_Public_Schools (see chapter on Schools and Locations)
Read page 20-21 of this document (also interesting re budgeting): http://dcps.dc.gov/DCPS/Files/downloads/ABOUT%20DCPS/Budget%20-%20Finance/FY13%20documents/FY2013%20Budget%20Guide.pdf
For those who don't like web pages, here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdfOlE6r4Z8
And if you really insist, there is also a DCUM thread on it: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/93750.page

Our children are at one of the autonomous schools and it's really benefited them I think because deviations from the standard staffing model has allowed our school to hire another specials teacher, we've slowly introduced a new math curriculum, which now happens to be better aligned with the Common Core Standards than the prescribed Everyday Math, etc.[/quote]
