Maret still hoarding resources

[Anonymous]

So Maret has new and functional fields. And yet Maret still claims Jelleff (in their $0 lease) everyday after school.

Why does my child who plays softball for Hardy have to get on a bus to go out of the neighborhood to a field, when Maret could just redirect their Jelleff-bound bus to their new fields?

How many fields does a small school need?

Because that’s what your city counselors agreed to.

In a corrupt, "emergency" agreement. You would think Maret would have the integrity to stop enriching itseslf based on a corrupt deal now that it has solved its facilities problem.

I'm curious if they teach civics at Maret...

It’s really outrageous. Jellef is literally across the street from Hardy and my child is taking wmata to a field that’s closer to Maret than Hardy. Make it make sense!!

Sounds like your issue is more with the city council. Probably best to lobby them than to appeal to the integrity of a private school on an anonymous message board.

Hoarding a field when you have your own cuts against an equitable and inclusive community.

The school could at least give up a couple days week to let Hardy practice.

Hoarding? Or using the field in accordance with an agreement they signed with the city?

Maret and the councilmembers in 2019 should be ashamed.

My problem is with both of them, and people have complained, of course, to the city council The reality is that it is harder for the city council to fix than Maret, who can just STOP using the field today.

How is it that they still want Maret along with their new fields? Aren't the new fields enough?!

It has been a long time -- that's what makes it worse. And I'm sure it seems funny to observers, but it is truly an egregiously callous set-up.

Why not? What will they do in 2030? Bribe politicians to hold onto Jelleff again?

Bribery? Come back down to earth. It doesn’t help your case to be so hyperbolic.
