[quote=Anonymous]"spending probably millions on new facilities, new teachers. Most of the shuttered DC schools are now DMVs and clinics and such so even if you took the school facilities back you'd have to spend $$$ to relocate the DMVs. Also, taking 1-2 gifted kids from a class in each school won't free up teachers from the home schools, so you'd have to hire new teachers." Seems to me that charters manage to do exactly that each year - hire new teachers and get space each year, WITHOUT the luxury of DC government's support to provide them with the real estate, as well as without receiving as much per student as DCPS schools do. Though they aren't specifically for G&T, they are nonetheless typically specialized offerings. So the argument that it can't be done makes no sense - because it quite obviously can be done. And if the DCPS school system is unwilling to do so, then perhaps they should allow a charter to do it instead.[/quote]
