Is the money from the star ratings included in these budgets?

So it's principals that are choosing to mess with at-risk funds not central office correct

And it's principals that are choosing to change the Comprehensive Staffing Models and not central office correct

Principals can request to add staff or reallocate which is why it should look at the submitted v proposed like the Pp suggested.

Another fail by DCPS those pie charts and summary numbers do not match at all

Came to note the same thing. For the schools I looked at, it looks like the "at risk" piece is the number of the total budget.

Anyone have winners/losers? I'm noticing the amounts allocated for certain positions don't match up at all to what's actually in my school (ie X SPED teachers allocated, but only Y filled).

Yup that's the disconnect I want to get down to this year

The allocations are supposed to be static but then at some point there are adjustments made

Is that central office, principals something else? The whole budget process is a sham

You can go back to initial vs. submitted budgets for prior years to see what was changed and approved. But then compare it to what a school has. Mine had something like 14 ELL teachers allocated, 12 approved, but only 10 listed on the roster as ELL teachers. No idea where the positions or money went.

Bunker Hill Elementary School, Ketcham Elementary School, LaSalle-Backus Education Campus, Miner Elementary School, Takoma Education Campus, Truesdell Education Campus, West Education Campus, Wheatley Education Campus, and Whittier Education Campus.

Ross is losing PK3. Lafayette is losing a PK4 classroom

LaSalle Backus, Takoma, Whittier are gaining because their 6th graders will be at New North.

Most of the rest are early action schools - Title 1 + room for more PK

Mostly the education campuses that are converting back to elementary schools. It's in the Mayors press release.

Would love to know more about the technology plan. As a teacher I haven't heard anything about it. Will only 3rd graders get a device and then when they go to 4th they are stuck with old tech or do they re-stock every year at 3rd so the kid moves to 4th with it? Technology has been very inequitable so I'm glad they sound like they are centralizing it a bit.

Re ESY, it seems like a good, data-driven decision.

Tried it, didn't work as hoped and had significant downsides (enrollment/teacher burnout and resistance) so they ended the program.

Extended school year is no more, and lots more information here!
