[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]Also not included are the athletic facilities, which are typically provided, funded, maintained and staffed by DC Parks.[/i]

This is not true.  Almost all of the athletic facilities are owned by DCPS, particularly the really expensive middle school and high school ones. DCPS is allowed to apply to use DPR properties, but they're on the same footing as charters. It is much more common for charters to use DPR facilities than DCPS, because charters don't have their own facilities.

In general the relationship between DPR and DCPS is not good, there's not a lot of cooperation.

The advantage DCPS has is that it has all of the good locations, many of them are closer to DPR facilities than charters.[/quote]

I disagree about the equal footing - charters typically don't even get a crack at some of the facilities, they are basically already spoken for.  Also, you probably don't even realize how many DCPS schools are using DPR facilities, particularly given a lot of the DPR athletic facilities "just happen to be" directly adjoining or directly adjacent to DCPS schools, so that one wouldn't ever even know that they are separate from the school.  Banneker, Deal, Amidon, Ketcham, Eaton et cetera...[/quote]
