It has come to my attention that in some DCPS schools, there are cutting teachers’ jobs by either removing them altogether or forcing them to work part time. At Banneker, we have the right amount of teachers having only 28 teachers and over 300 students that attend Banneker. By removing these teachers, this will not only affect the school but the students as well. The classes will grow bigger, th

Research proves having a library staffed with a qualified full time librarian has a direct impact on literacy and a student's success in college. The question is, what goal does Ms. Henderson and her staff, in addition to the mayor and city council have for young people attending schools they oversee? If this is a data driven system, why is this research ignored? Isn't this evidence to support the need?

Public and school officials need to rethink their decisions. The students should come first in all decisions that are made about the education in DC. The school needs more funding than less.
The students cannot do without libraries and librarians. Statistics show that student test scores are improved by having school based librarians and libraries. Full funding is needed for libraries!

High performing school districts across the country make policy decisions in tight financial times to fund their librarians and school libraries.

It is clearly policy decisions, and not current and future student needs, that drive what is funded and what is not in this budget.

I also believe that substantial economies can be found by modifying some DCPS systems, including the special ed processes.

Greater parental and student input into teacher and administrator evaluations, and greater teacher training, based on those evaluations, could further improve the quality of education in DC schools
