[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taxpayer money for her to travel to Cuba to watch kids sing and dance - yet she is cutting the Fillmore Arts Center for five DCPS schools. I am disgusted.

Please sign petition to save arts in schools - http://friendsoffillmore.org/[/quote]

Fix the Duke Ellington crazyness, and you may find some art budgets in the future.

Don't, and no taxpayer in the city will want to spend a dime more.[/quote]

Ellington is a done deal.  Get over it.

Fix Coolidge instead.  Almost the same amount of money $150M+ but for only 300 students and maybe half will graduate.[/quote]

You should take a long hard look in the mirror and think about how disgusting of a person you are.[/quote]

According to "GreatSchools" in 2015, a whopping [u]9% of Coolidge students performed at grade level in English and 0% at grade level in Math[/u].  That would be a test of 10th graders.  [u]Out of a possible 10 points, Coolidge scored 2[/u] (10 being the best, so 2 is not "2nd place").  According to the 2014 numbers, [b][i]51% graduated, so the "maybe half" number above is damn near spot on[/i][/b].  PP snark well done.  Disgust away if it means telling the truth.      [/quote]
