[b]The Ellington community and leadership had no more to do with the expenditure of funds for its than the Lafayette community did for theirs. [/quote][/b]

People need to understand that Ellington is by no means a normal DC Public School. It is essentially run by a non-DCPS/private outside board and has very significant sources of outside/private funds. How money is spent there on everything from construction to programming works differently. (Lafayette, by contrast, is just a huge, overcrowded, rich-family DCPS)

Construction money spent at Ellington was done the same way as for all DGS school renovations (basically not well). DCPS owns that building, the foundation does not. DCPS was the customer/client as it always is, not Ellington's board. [/quote]

I'm sorry, you're willfully ignoring the influence of the Ellington board. No one in DC politics dares stand up to them. Their wish was DGS' command, costs be damned. [/quote]
