It shows what happens when you offer free preschool near downtown.

It shows what happens when you're willing to walk away from proving special education. Guess we can always go back to the days of funding children to be in school as far away as Pennsylvania because DCPS can't do anything right.

Yep. Has ANYONE given a coherent reason why they decided to walk away from the Ivymount partnership here?

They think they can do it themselves better.

Whoever is moving in, it would be yet another school without a playground, because that part is going to the developer.

This from the GW Hatchet on the ANC meeting. Mayor's rep. quotes as saying that a public school use for this space is appropriate.

Great property for a downtown-based charter school. Basis should be all over this.
