[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Washington Latin or Capitol City get such great deals? I know their buildings were in awful  ondition...[/quote]

You raise a good point: the terms that Lab is getting are far better than what public charter school are getting on former DCPS properties -- despite the fact that charters are actual public schools that serve DC residents, and Lab is a private school that primarily serves out-of-staters.[/quote]

No, this is a lie.  More than half the students in the Hardy building live in DC.  Many are funded by DCPS b/c they were unable to teach them in the public schools.[/quote]

Before you go calling people liars, you got a cite for that? The legislation says 26% from DCPS.[/quote]

Those are kids with FUNDING.  I can see the school directory.  [b]More than half the kids at the Hardy Building live in the district.[/b]  [/quote]

So bsaed on the OSSE data, 26% is just wrong.

12% of students get funding. More kids live in the city and attend the Lab School but so what? It's still a private school.

Lab should be getting no better terms than they have given charters who take over surplused space. [/quote]
