[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just looked it up.

DCPS gives Janney, everything included, $10k per kid.

It gives CW Harris $19k per kid. And $15-18k per kid to a ton other of the "lowest-performing" schools.

[b]What's crazy is people who turn a blind eye to extreme, systemic poverty and repetitive trauma across generations, and then thinks it's unfair that kids who need more support services get it in order to succeed when your kids are doing fine.  [/b]

[b]THIS[/b]. The perspective, or lack thereof, of SOME UMC DC parents is sickening. - Signed, UMC Parent at at Title 1 School where a only a dozen or so families can afford to contribute monetarily or with their time, but it's becoming very clear that our school community is 100 times more welcoming and warm than Janney's.[/quote]

The Janney community is not this message board.  There are people with all kinds of agendas posting here.  Yes, Janney fundraises to provide for school needs to allow the principal to spend more of her budget on classroom staff.  The budget is based (I think, haven't been to a PTA meeting is a year or two) on a budget of raising $750/student.  However, they do not raise that entirely through direct donations, that also include money from the auction and other fundraising activities.

Janney is actually a very welcoming and warm place to all of its students, whether they are IB or OOB.  Janney on DCUM, however, is a lightening rod. All the WOTP schools have significant fundraising activities and support their schools in similar fashion.  Mann asks for and raises more per student and I believe has a second adult in every classroom.
