[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they should start back with a blank slate.  Take the model and approach being used by the most successful and effective school districts in the nation, build it to be 100% modernized and transparent, pick a current DCPS school or perhaps a few DCPS schools, and begin a pilot implementation at those schools using the new model in parallel, with a second, separate administrative team, to function alongside the current infrastructure.  And then, if it works, have the new model start taking over other schools in a phased implementation until all the old is swept out and all the new is implemented.[/quote]

To a large extent, that's what the charter movement is about.  Charters are separate pilot programs with their own administrative teams that function alongside the current infrastructure.

The funding each charter receives is entirely transparent.  How those funds are spent is entirely transparent at some charters and somewhat opaque at others.  Nevertheless, the actual cost to DC taxpayers of a given charter school in a given year is known to a degree of certainty that appears impossible to realize at any school run by DCPS.

Hopefully, the successful charters will ultimately expand to the point that DCPS is swept out and all of DC's children are educated by a network of high-functioning charter schools.[/quote]
