[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city will spend astronomical amounts renovating schools, but only if they're DCPS. DC spent $180 million redoing Duke Ellington, which only has 600 or so students. Works out to about $300,000 per student. [/quote]

Banneker got a $130 million renovation (700 students) [/quote]

There's a long list of DCPS high schools that have gotten $100 million+ renovations[/quote]

How long exactly is that long list?

What portion of DCPS schools is it?[/quote]

The city has spent $3 billion and counting remodeling public schools (but not charters!)...[/quote]

Some of the renovations are really over the top. Apparently money is no object for some schools. [/quote]

It's kinda hilarious how the city treats charter school kids like red headed stepchildren. You would not think a government would or could go so far out of its way to be shitty to a group of children. [/quote]

DC is obsessed with the “right” people using city services. It IS racial. It is a low level counter insurgency waged against “transplants.” To turn a phrase, you face twice as much scrutiny and be twice as good. [/quote]

I think the city still resents the charter school system, even though half the kids in the city are now it in, and the way it tries to get back at it is by starving the schools of money. The difference between DCPS facilities and charter facilities is mind blowing. I would not think it is legal to treat an entire class of children like third class citizens. [/quote]
