Just read a comment on LL:
The plan is for Francis to be used by School Without Walls. |
|
List of schools that will be closed: Francis Stevens Education Campus Garrison ES MacFarland MS Sharpe Health School Mamie D Lee School CHOICE at Hamilton Marshall ES Spingarn HS Spingarn STAY Prospect Learning Campus Shaw at Garnet Patterson Davis ES Kenilworth ES Ron Brown MS Smothers ES Winston Education Campus Ferebee Hope ES Johnson MS Malcolm X ES MC Terrell-McGogney ES According to WAMU 88.5 FM and DCPS |
| Just got a robo call about school closings from dcps. Tells you to go to dcps website for list and your input. Also said info. going home with students today if your school is impacted. |
| Hardy is going to go downhill from here on out. They have to receive Macfarland kids? Good luck with them. |
They are going to Hardy. |
Which feeds into Deal. It's a win win I guess. |

Here's the link to the DCPS power point. Francis Stevens is for SWW expansion.

| Well that power point blows the myth of the babyboom out of the water. Maybe in some areas it looks like it but city as a whole? Down, way down. |
Any person who believes in public school should be interested in what is happening citywide. |
| DCPS closures are a lagging indicator of performance following under-enrollment. It all begins and ends with performance of individual schools and how parents and guardians react to that performance. |
|
Performance based on erased scores, but nice try.
|
| read the above link...it's all there. |
|
Makes a great deal of sense all around. It's clear where the students will be funneled but you obviously can't force anybody. For example, the F-S middle school students may not actually go to Hardy but choose another middle school instead.
What I'm not seeing is missed opportunities. Are there schools that should be on the list but aren't. |
| Ludlow Taylor could go and those kids could go to their home schools in PG county. |
