• Initial Hurdles:
– Startup time (DCPS reaction time is far too slow)– No ownership of autonomy effort by “downtown” during previous
administration– Extreme difficulty getting OCP to engage and issue contract once
method of contracting with independent 501c3 was chosen and WMC was formed
– Confusion over fiscal years and how funding works leading to further contracting delays and funding of the contract
– Establishing legitimacy with downtown and WTU
Woodrow Wilson Management Corporation, Inc.
• On-going issues and hurdles– No definitive clarification of issues raised in 3 July
2006 letter to Mr. Dale Talbert (WTU and LSRT)
– Wilson (and WMC as a volunteer organization) may need professional third-party help with all aspects of any role for WMC beyond modernization
– DCPS financial & operational audits not completed
– Principal as COTR (positive and negative implications)
– Pressure to expand role of WMC
