[quote=Anonymous]From the "Brent" thread, there's a link to last week's D.C. Council Public Oversight Hearing on schools, involving Kaya Henderson, Beers, and others: http://dc.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=3105 At minute 50, Mary Cheh had questions about the homeless shelter; at min 54, Cheh has questions on Fillmore. The good news is at min 57, Kaya Henderson said she "will cooperate" to keep Fillmore open next year with more funds. Henderson repeated some incorrect talking points about Fillmore, such as the idea that Fillmore used to serve the entire city for period of time, and that there has been a significant dropoff of Fillmore feeder schools in the past few years which makes it less financially practical than it once was. Simply untrue. Kaya also suggested that Fillmore needs public-private funding, like Ellington, if it wants a long-term future. That is probably true, Fillmore supporters! [/quote]
