It doesn’t look like a private school if it’s just more MCPS administrators (many many administrators!) getting paid from public funds with no accountability. 
[b]Should this not be a nonprofit? [/b]
If it was a great thing I would think that the Gates foundation would already have sent over a large contribution. But instead they are just taking public money meant for MCPS on the sly and not having any accountability for the ‘product’. Sounds like an entitlement program for county administrators and free babysitting for some county residents. [/quote]

It is a non-profit. Specifically, a 501(c)(3).[/quote]

Then why our MCPS school funds funding it in part?[/quote]

Being a non-profit doesn't mean you don't charge for services.  It just means that the money from those charges goes back into the program.

MCPS pays for services from plenty of non-profits.  They bring in Red Cross staff members to do CPR/First Aid.  They pay the non-profit that runs the place where they have Outdoor Ed.  They pay DAR for the use of Constitution Hall for graduation.  They pay the Council for Exceptional Children for PD for their special education staff.  I could go on.

So, the fact that MCPS pays a nonprofit for a service designed to help kids and close the achievement gap is not weird at all.  It is a little weird that they're paying the salary directly, rather than paying the organization to use the money as they see fit.  [/quote]
