[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the charter/dcps hybrid was tried twice. both times dcps walked away from the idea. i know the dci folks were very frustrated with dcps not being willing/able to make it happen.[/quote]

I would love to know more about this hybrid idea and what was tried.  It sounds like a terrible idea from the charter end of things, because as long as a facility is available, what is the benefit of a charter partnering with DCPS??

And the idea of DCI partnering with DCPS is the worst ever, given that DCI is already a collaboration of 5 elementary schools trying to figure out how to combine cultures, students, missions and language instruction into a cohesive middle and high school.  What would DCPS add to that other than problems with school culture (not because DCPS has all bad school culture, but it would be like a 6th culture to add in depending on the school)?

Where/when/how were DCPS/charter hybrids tried in the past?  And what was on the table for DCI and DCPS to do together that DCPS walked away from?[/quote]
