In a hearing this week DCPS made clear that it's leaving schools on their own to fund things like educator wellness grants, permanent substitutes, immigrant visa/green card program (for bilingual education) & other programs critical to teacher retention. The inequity is obvious: schools with well-resourced parents will find a way; other schools won't.
