[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't Mary Cheh promise that John Eaton E.S. would be fully renovated before the Cathedral Commons (Idaho Ave.) homeless shelter opens?  If so, what are the plans?  Has DCPS provided any scope on additional classroom seats, new multipurpose space, parking, design goals, etc.?  Based on reports of renovations at Janney, Murch, Lafayette, Ellington, etc., good planning takes time and a rushed process usually runs into pitfalls.[/quote]

With the $25 million she "found," there is legit no chance Eaton gets parking. It would have to go underground. $25 million to excavate underground and actually do anything of substance to the interior space just isn't going to cut it. And there really isn't anywhere on Eaton's property to create either additional seats (which I would argue it doesn't need since I think the school shook out at 60ish percent IB last year) or add a proper cafeteria separate from the current multipurpose room. They'd have to eat the playground, which is already small compared to other public schools and frankly, I'd rather my kid stay with the current not ideal space inside than have even less space to play outside.
