[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funding only follows the child (after the count) if a child goes from a public charter to DCPS. Conversely, if a child comes to a charter after the count from DCPS the funds remain with DCPS.[/quote]

I don't think the first part is true even a little bit.  It's the same both ways.[/quote]

That's my understanding as well. [/quote]

I think people are confused about the exact funding process.  DCPS makes estimates at the beginning of the year and gets funding based on that- and there is no "true up" after that to match the exact funding to the final student count.  Charters do the same thing- send an estimate of their count in July, and the first quarterly payment is based on that estimate.  But then once the official count is complete, the remaining quarterly payments are "trued up" so that the final total annual amount will match the official count number.

This article explains the process about 1/3 of the way down.  It's three years old, but still the process.
