Does Ms. Brown research her articles? They always feel like blog posts.

This "article" does a poor job of putting the numbers reported in context.

But is this just for the current fiscal year? I think that there are plans for some of these schools to have a lot more work done the following year.

The chart shows -$6,000,000 for DC Immersion. Not surprising. Gray promises buildings to some charters then pulls them now this.

by the way this is just a proposal, not a done deal. Write your Councilmember and the Mayor if you do not support these cuts.

The article doesn't explanation why any of these decisions were made.

Me too but the article makes it sound like DCI was expecting $ that got pulled.

just another example of politics as usual.

I thought DCI was a charter? Aren't charters responsible for their own facilities plans?

What does that mean for DCI?

Interesting to see who is benefiting and who is not.

Amidon got a modernization last year so I'm not sure what is being remodeled for phase 2.

West and Orr would definitely benefit from not being open class room model. It is not a very conducive design for learning.
