[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live next to Ellington. It's a line of MD-plated cars before school, after school, and during evening performances or post-rehearsals.

All the kids who actually live in DC take the bus and/or walk. I see them around the neighborhood and at the bus stops. The MD kids get dropped off and picked up in nice cars. The parents don't even bother to pull over and instead double-park and block the streets.

"Entitled" doesn't even begin to describe these folks. It's absurd.[/quote]

Go to Jack Evans and ask him to take some steps.  Make some proposals that are reasonable:
Jack - for the 164 students that are not residents, can DCPS freeze the students account / not issue transcripts until the issue is resolved?

When your child can not apply to college / transfer to your local school you approach the situation differently.

And BS on it is hurting the child - these kids are old enough to know what they are doing is wrong.[/quote]
OR - since the student allocation funding for the school is based on count - and the student count is wrong - how about cutting the budget for Ellington next year to what the DC resident count is[/quote]

DC Student allocation for next year for Ellington is almost $15K a student.  I am sure if they had $2M less to spend the school leadership would take residency seriously.[/quote]

in contrast, Wilson gets $7,000 per student.  Maybe Wilson should get the money the Ellington is stealing.  As a whole, the school is doing a lot with the money it has.  [/quote]
