The money follows the student to the public charter school but not back to the local school if they leave the school (or are pushed) after the school census day in October.<BR/><BR/>Also the weighted student formula is used to assign revenues to students. Charter schools get the whole shebang, DCPS takes the total and then shaves off a substantial amount for special education students and transportation. <BR/><BR/>The Post series was interesting, but mostly it was a more detailed flyover at 2,000 feet rather than 20,000.
