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.

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

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.
