[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Yes this was Catania's baby and this is one if the un intended consequences that is now bearing bitter fruit in the case of Wilson. I wonder if all those boosters he had in here last year realize that. I wouldn't hold my breathe though.[/quote]

This is a consequence of the chosen implementation, not the law itself. If Catania were still on the Council he would probably have had a hearing by now to demand better implementation.

BTW, Brandon Todd came to my door on Saturday to ask for my vote for the Ward 4 Council seat. The only question I had for him was whether he supported restoring Wilson's funding. He was unequivocal in his support. Obviously, candidates will tell you whatever you want to hear, but since he is Bowser's hand-picked candidate I was surprised by how strongly he stated his support. His solution was to find additional funding from outside the current DCPS budget. It was also pretty obvious that I wasn't the first person to ask him about the issue.

OP here and I completely agree with Jeff. The implementation sucks, not nessarily the law.  I'm happy to hear that from Brandon Todd - I think that's the right answer. The Council has to find more money from outside the currently proposed DCPS budget.

[b]I am appalled that it's ok for the Chancellor to blame supporting At Risk kids for Wilson cuts. It feel like she's trying to start a class war. [/b]

I agree, and am surprised that Kaya is not gone already.  When I see the school scandal in Atlanta that is sending schools administrators to the federal slammer, I wonder how close the chancellor and her crew are to a similar situation.[/quote]
