[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should Latin get $2M in cap fund direct from the city and not DC Prep? Or my favorite nonprofit?[/quote]

This is a fair point. Seems that all charters should all have a crack at capital funds or none. I think there should be a way to do it -- a competitive process to apply and the City owns the buildings (charters get a long term lease). Would be interesting to see who could deliver school construction projects more effectively (on time, on budget, high quality). [/quote]

This would put the council/mayor/whoever judges the "competitive process" in charge of charter-development decisions, which would severely compromise charter independence. Right now charters get a per pupil facilities allotment in addition to regular per-pupil funding. That's the only way to leave each charter in control of its own facilities decisions. [/quote]

That's a good counter argument but the District is really the one in charge. DC Government has the buildings, the permits, and the rent credits.  [/quote]
