[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This partnership also raises legitimate hiring questions.

Bard will hire teachers initially, who have background teaching college students.

Will they be required to be certified via OSSE? 
Will they have equal pay and benefits as the rest of DCPS teachers? 
Will they be in the WTU bargaining unit?
Will they be subject to IMPACT / LEAP and all the other hurdles that we put DCPS teachers through?

Basically DCPS has privatized a school.

DC has privatized a lot of public schools - they're called charters.  Most don't have teachers union membership as a requirement.[/quote]

Right, but starting one within DCPS brings a lot of baggage. I also remember when Rhee tried it at Coolidge. [/quote]

I honestly don't know much about Coolidge aside from the graduation scandal.  Not sure that's the right comparator for the Bard program but the Bard program is a model that's worked elsewhere, including in Baltimore.[/quote]
