As to the budget, there is no reason to assume that there is no fat in the MV's budget.

There's no need to assume anything.  Just look at the 990's of any charter school and you can see firsthand the details of its revenues and expenses.  You can't do that with a specific DCPS school expenses are buried in the aggregate DCPS budget.  Want a union and all the supposed attendant benefits?  Teach at a DCPS.[/quote]

Good idea. I just did, and compared MV and YY's 2019 budget, which is on their profile pages (DCPCB webside). I compared them because they have the same number of students (578 and 579 respectively), are both running dual language programs and both operate their own aftercare, which brings in more revenue but also brings more staff expenses. I only pulled staff salaries, not benefits since there is no way to tell if they are comparable.

MV 
23 administrators, business operations and other non-instructional staff. Combined salaries are $2,091,447 or an average of $90,932 per person.
75 teachers, special educators and other educational professionals. Combined salaries are $52,281 per person.

YY 
25 administrators, business operations and other non-instructional staff. Combined salaries are $1,394,717 or an average of $55,788 per person
72 teachers, special educators and other educational professionals. Combined salaries are $4,757,736 or an average of $66,079 per person.

These are choices that each school's leadership and Board make. They don't just happen. A union may or may not be needed at MV, but that is a large salary disparity between the instructional staff and the administrators.
