[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent with high numbers (for K) at MV and another HRCS, does this effort indicate anything I should be concerned about?[/quote]

You should keep in mind the teachers are engaging in an effort that will help with stability and long term viability of the school. Charter school teachers are paid less than DCPS and without a seat at the decision-making table, they don't have a lot of power. So this may seem scary or unsettling to potential parents but its something that needs to happen if MV wants to start keeping teachers longer.[/quote]

The problem is as mentioned on another post, charters are funded at a fraction of DCPS. But yes teachers need a voice. I hope this works out for the best.[/quote]

Charters are paid less but also have choice and wide latitude in how they pay teachers, administrators, how many admins they have, and amount paid for related thing like lunch service, outsourcing or managing aftercare, consultants, running shuttle buses etc.
