[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the argument against the space near RFK? Honestly, they should postpone a year and use the NE swing space that SWS used. I believe JO Wilson is moving into it soon for their renovation, but I think they are further along in the process? That space is nice and a much easier commute across the Hill instead of through the heart of the city.[/quote] Also at Brent and from what we’ve been able to tell — there isn’t one? It’s been confusing and it happened right before spring break, so most people I know are still seeing how it plays out. Nobody is really sure how it happened or why Norah is *so* dug in. The only thing she’s said so far is that she wants people to swallow it so she can trade for changes she wants to the new building. A community garden is the one thing she said. But clearly this can’t be over a community garden? She warned against burning bridges with DCPS, but to us this is exactly the fight we should be having. They also claimed, but were rightfully corrected, that there wouldn’t be busses to RFK. Which by DCPS policy just isn’t true. I have heard that there are conversations with parents at A-B, which is also due for modernization and got a bad space. A-B has already been working with Charles Allen and there may be a way to combine for a new space at RFK. [/quote] LOL. Bussing for an hour for a community garden. That is not sound thinking! Taking on one on time sink for the privilege of being saddled with another time sink... This swing space idea is simply unacceptable, and the parents need to be unified and unrelenting on this. It's hard not to believe that DCPS just really wants to blow things up sometimes. Like, "Gee, that school has a nice community. It's not equitable for those people to be happy with their school!"[/quote]
