[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, Charters receive that much money, but can't pay their teachers a decent salary.[/quote]

Not ALL charters.  And I agree on financial transparency for all charters and DCPS.[/quote]

I [b]really[/b] want to be reassured that BASIS DC pays its teachers decent salaries.  We are asked to contribute to a "teacher retention fund" because Cameron Louis said "although we don't like to advertise this, charter teachers get paid less than those in DCPS."  Well, the discrepancy in per pupil funding here has been litigated, legislated, you name it, so the idea that it was some kind of secret to us was hilarious to me.  Not so funny is the fact that the private corporation pays the teacher's salaries, while asking us to contribute, and a former teacher just posted on another thread that all the money raised went to fulfill the teacher contracts that Basis was already legally obligated to pay.  She did not teach in DC, but yes, I want to see the salaries.  I want to know they are being paid well because most of the teachers do a tremendous amount of work for our kids, and I want to know where any money I donate goes.  So no donations from us except to individual teachers.  Again.[/quote]
