[quote=Anonymous]Super-macro-picture: DCPS is in this position because of disinvestment after white and black flight from DC. At the micro-level, you can't rebuild facilities on a strict formula or per-student basis. You can establish priorities, but they are "lumpy" projects in that you need a certain chunk of cash in order to get certain levels of work going. But there is a dcps capital improvement plan that is in the mayor's budget each year. Parents need to advocate for the mayor to stick to these plans. However reprogramming happens every year due to changes in expected spending. Reprogramming could be done in open hearings and meetings, but it will not be done in the DC Council as it is done at mayoral discretion, with only DC Council up-down approval, not the normal amendment process.[/quote]
