Banneker increasing their population by 50%

I believe DCPS has gradually improved during the past two decades. To me it makes sense that if DCPS improves that there would be a demand for a competitive high school like Banneker to expand.

Then it was closed and reopened as an application only high school by Vincent Reed, Superintendent. The spirit was to attract a diverse group as it was the only way the school board was going to sanction the school. History lesson for the transplant soul; the superintendent resigned on the same day that the school board approved Banneker. I was just a teenager but I remember the heated arguments about Banneker and it how it was being created for whites. Don't under estimate the volvo brigade they would have driven all over this city to have a school with a substantial percentage of students to attend. Unfortunately, what happened to Banneker decades earlier happened to Eastern during their relaunch. Reading history doesn't compare to those who lived it.
I never heard that story. Sounds rough, pp, sorry! (not 4:32)
