Big GDS news

[Anonymous]

I’m impressed. A thread that blows away the “Sidwell took PPP funds” thread. Must have been heated.

I am not sure how it makes sense for DCPS to have another non-centrally located school in Ward 3, but it is good news for GDS to have the asset off their hands.

What happened to River school?

This will be a new elementary school?

It would be better if it became a HS but the Metro access is crap.

You resurrected a 6 year old thread to share this news?

Depends on when they got it. Do you have a fully fledged admin and faculty just sitting around waiting for a building to materialize?

Don’t be an idiot.

Based on the latest town hall and assuming all went as planned, the school should have its occupancy permit by now for the new building. That was a little surprising to me as it looked like there was still a bit of work yet to do the last time I drove onto campus, but maybe it was all punch-list type of stuff.
