[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference in the facilities budget does feel unfair (DCPS school renovations are funded through the Capital Budget and DGS, while charters have limited funding through the schools budget, which is why we see these insane renovations for DCPS schools but charter schools feel more modest.)

[b]Only a handful of DCPS schools have gotten "insane renovations,"[/b] and those were politically driven.

Most DCPS buildings suck, and when they do get renovated, it is at minimal quality. Then they don't get maintained.

You want to rely on DGS for your facilities?  We'd be happy to trade places on that one.

But which ones are "insane"?[/quote]
I had a kid at Murch and Deal post-renovation, and there is nothing over the top about either school's renovations.  [/quote]
