Rehire, retrain impacted dc residents fired from dcps so out of state newcomers can get jobs to fluff resumes and not raise test scores.
Rehire DC residents fired from dcps, get them off welfare and back to work. give them the same 5 week summer training that out of state folks get. Those folks have not raised test scores. Impact is a joke! It is used to provide jobs for 'non residents'. We want our community whole again with our residents working in our schools with our values with our children!

Why does it seem so much of the debate around DCPS revolves around teaching jobs vs. what's best for our kids? DCPS should be seen as a source of education, not a source of employment. Of course, it would be great to train and hire DC residents as high quality teachers, but employment should be a side benefit, not a primary driver.

I don't disagree that some of the fired DCPS students may deserve a second chance. But I do take issue with Ms. Miller-Hill's us-vs-them take on the issue. The title of this forum is the ONE City Summit. Let's stop pointing fingers and work together to make DC great.
