[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The charters have done an amazing job given the fact that DC has shortchanged them every time. Facilities are expensive and DCPS is sitting on ones that aren't full of students and constantly doing complete and expensive renovations.[/quote]

Hahahahaha sorry but please go visit some DCPS buildings in need of modernization. DC sold off a bunch of buildings to charters and others so now they have inadequate swing space for modernizations of 100 year old buildings and no where to expand.

But also they literally have to keep some of those schools with lower enrollments because those kids have to go to school somewhere. Education isn't a privilege, it's a right.[/quote]

They can consolidate schools.  They have consolidated schools.  And whose fault is it that those schools are poorly maintained?  DCPS' fault.  Don't blame charters.[/quote]

You cannot just consolidate schools out of a ward.

DGS specifically is who is charged with maintenance, not DCPS.

And they're not just poorly maintained, they're old. They need modernization. So they're being modernized.

Sorry charters want to reap the benefits of DCPS without any of the regulations or requirements.[/quote]
