[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, in general charter school families are paying more than DCPS families. They don't have anybody offering free aftercare to their families, even ones who qualify for FARMS. So they charge what they need to to make ends meet, or what their vendors are willing to offer, given the size of the after school population etc. [/quote] If charters, like MV, are using aftercare for fundraising purposes, then that's not making "ends meet." That means they are charging more than they need for aftercare to support other activities. Which is fine if that's what they want to do. What is perplexing is that they are willing to charge a household of 3 making $25K annually. Instead of using aftercare as a fundraising devise, why not subsidize the most needy of families? Seems like the priorities are out of whack.[/quote] This. Also there are many charters where the provider comps low income.[/quote]
