[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an outside private contractor relationship between the school and the vendor.  Come on yall know how this works.

Parents/community are now customers not stakeholders.  Contracts are overseen by DCPS' not the parents.  Input is solely advisory in nature and everything is governed by the terms of the contract.  It's a complete mentality change.  Hopefully it will be better but there is not much we can do to ensure that.  [b]We as a community gave up control when we couldn't rise to the challenge.[/b][/quote]

Well said.[/quote]

If this is just a DCPS contract then yes, this is not a positive development.  The board will not have accountability then.
I thought it was possible that if LAP was incorporated, it could be the entity that held the contract with the aftercare provider.  So the contractor really would work for the parents.[/quote]

Even the contractor that LAP endorsed wouldn't have had any formal parental oversight.[/quote]
