[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And because of the way that DC allocates per pupil funding, Deal will always be the monster school that can offer everything, and all the other middle schools will pale in comparison. If they could tweak the formula somehow so that Deal got less incremental money for each student over a certain number,[u] and the other middle schools were funded based on their capacity not their enrollment[/u], some of the funding inequity would balance.[/quote][u]And then DCPS schools would have NO reason to ever improve, as money doesn't follow the student[/u]. (Deal and Wilson are getting screwed already with per pupil funding).  Then more students would seek to go to charters...[/quote][u]What are you talking about? Money does follow the student. [/u]A school gets a baseline amount for every student enrolled. On top of that, a school gets additional funds if a high number of students live in poverty, are not native English speakers or have special needs. [/quote]Different poster responding to answer your question.  I assume what PP meant by money not following the students was the first PP's tweak-the-formula proposal that funding should be based on capacity not enrollment.  Key parts of each comment underlined.  HTH[/quote]Thank you!(middle poster)[/quote]
