Opening to Charters
The Washington, DC, Board of Education agrees to lease some underused (or unused) buildings to charter schools! Yay! They have an incentive:
A few hours before the board's vote, D.C. Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp (D) introduced legislation that would provide the school system with an extra $100 million to repair and modernize buildings -- doubling the amount it was to receive next year -- if school officials make additional progress on using space more efficiently.
