[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids' charter has added people to the special ed team over the past couple years, so I don't think they're counseling out kids with IEPs but rather they're providing more services. My kid has an IEP and someone I know who works in a DCPS said they were surprised my kid gets what she does because in the DCPS school she probably would not have been given so many minutes/hours of services.[/quote]

That’s because funding is based on the level of services.  More services?  Higher needs IEP...more funding.  Charters don’t have to share it with central office.  They get all the funds.  They may, in fact, be making money off of your child.  [/quote]

Wait, so charters are both counseling out kids with IEPs AND trying to make money off them by providing [i]more[/i] services?  I call BS on this argument both ways.[/quote]

Some charters do one and some do the other and yes, some do both. They make the money, don’t provide the services and then counsel the student out - and back to DCPS where the deficits that were exacerbated by the charter have to be addressed. [/quote]

Please post something, anything, substantiating that this is really happening.    [/quote]
