[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS has a responsibility to build for future enrollment.  So yeah, some buildings are not at capacity now, but will be in the future.  Just look at population projections for the next 5-10 years.

DCPCS doesn't have that same responsibility.   They can accept what they have space for and don't have to take anyone else.

If DCPS gives away a bunch of their buildings, then where are they going to build into?  As far as I can tell, no charter wants a 5 year lease on a run down building.[/quote]

If trends continue, 40-50% of that projected growth - will want to attend charter schools.

No one is askign DCPS to 'give away' the buildings - most that ever happens are 10-20 year leases. [/quote]

I think at the boundary review process, we were looking at projected DCPS growth - not charters.  So charter schools will need to look for new buildings too.  Why is that DCPS problem?[/quote]

Ew.  So what you are saying is you don't care about educating all kids.  You just care about educating kids as long as they choose DCPS?

You are just gross.[/quote]

I care about having buildings for public schools.  I don't care about giving buildings to private companies.

Nice try with the extrapolation BTW.[/quote]

Charter schools are public schools.  [/quote]

Charter schools are private companies that run public schools.[/quote]
