Many of these schools should have been renovated a long time ago. It’s not realistic but honestly all of Ward 3 was renovated before some of the worst buildings in the district were touched. Plus DCPS loves to push back renovations for unclear reasons.

This is flat out wrong. Ward 3 schools were the absolute last to be modernized under the last go round. That go round is only just ending now. They are the most recent because they were the last. It took a long time, maybe 20 years, to get to this point so it is no suprise that a new modernization program is needed.

There is a while DGS chart on this showing their assessments of each school, when they are slated etc, et. You don't have to guess about it.

+1 By the time they got to Murch, it hadn't been touched in 83 years, and not only was it listed as in the worst condition of all schools, but it was more than 50% over capacity with half the student body in trailers that were not to code.
