[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that DC taxpayers have invested about $200 Million into Ellington, time to put it under DC control as a school for DC kids. And frankly, I think every spot should be filled with a DC kid. My sister auditioned for Ellington in the 80s (and got in). However, auditions are incredibly subjective and talent can be developed. I find it difficult to believe that we don't have enough artistically inclined students in all of DC to fill Ellington's seats. [/quote] Be careful what you wish for. Putting it under 'DCPS control' would mean loss of involvement of the Kennedy Center and the private fund that support all the arts classes. Is DCPS prepared to up the annual per pupil funding just for Ellington to make up the difference? Ellington kids carry 10 classes per year. [/quote]
