$3,109 or Fight

$3,109 OR FIGHT—WaPo ed board wants more, more, more from the D.C. Council in per-pupil charter facilities funding. ‘Students who attend public charter schools continue to get the short end of the funding stick from a city government not entirely comfortable with charter schools' growth….Without doubt, economic times are tough, and the city must cut its budget when revenue is declining. What's bothersome, though, is the disparate treatment of students in the charter schools and those in other public schools when it comes to facilities….[C]harter schools are public schools, too. They have offered a choice to thousands of D.C. children; they deserve the same level of commitment from the city.' Also Informer op-ed.
