[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best I can decipher from this decision, as a matter of DCPS policy, is it desires "mediocrity" as a goal to be achieved for the public schools; but anything measurably better than "mediocre" must be eliminated, as its existence serves as a reminder that mediocrity isn't good at all.[/quote]

From the last Post article, it costs more than twice as much to provide art per child at Fillmore than it would at the home schools. $1147 vs $459 per child or thereabout.[/quote]

What Post article?  You mean the article from last year, when the City was paying fat $$ Charter buses to cart Ellington and Fillmore kids around (under the same contract), rather than use DCPS's own cheap buses?  Paying some political crony running the Charter company?  Those bloated costs?[/quote]

With four schools being renovated and busing kids to swing space, I'm pretty sure that transport is still at a premium.  Even with the cheaper busing projections, the per pupil outlay was higher for Fillmore schools.[/quote]
