[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Bumping this to add more information. After the proposed cuts, Wilson will receive $8,307 per student. In contrast, Eastern will receive $10,654 per student and Coolidge nearly twice the amount of Wilson with $16,209 per student. I don't begrudge the other schools the money, but this sort of discrepancy raises questions of simple fairness. Increasing Wilson's budget by $500 per student will still leave it far behind the other schools. I'd love to see equal education opportunities among DCPS high schools and extra funding to lower-performing schools is one method of attempting to achieve that. But, equality shouldn't come by decreasing the opportunities at one school. Please support sufficient funding for Wilson. [/quote] Almost all of Coolidge students are now Special Ed or ESL. [/quote]
