[quote=Anonymous]The AVERAGE works out to 25,000, 27,000 or 30,000 - depending on which analysis you want to take.

It's a whole lot more transparent when you consider charters, where there are pre-defined allocations per student, with one add-on being ESL, and another add-on being special needs.  But even when charter school allocations are fully topped-out for the most expensive, most extreme case (for example a special needs student for whom english is a second language) that is still dwarfed by the AVERAGE amount of spending per student across DCPS schools.  The most expensive charter school student would be allocated maybe half of what is being spent ON AVERAGE per student at DCPS.

Maybe DCPS should consider a similar, far more transparent funding model, comparable to what has been imposed on charters - and Catania should put his frustration over lack of transparency into action.  Frankly yes, one does wonder where all the money in DCPS goes - since so very little seems to make it to the students, whereas charters are doing as good of a job if not better for far less money.  The money could go to do so much more for our kids, rather than just vanishing into a black hole.[/quote]
