[quote=Anonymous]I was on the LSAT and my wife was PTA president at our local elementary. Like clockwork, every two years there was a Fillmore crisis. Then we would all get out our pitchforks and torches and stormed the barricades, and Fillmore got a reprieve. Talking to old-timers, it seems this has been going on since Fillmore started in the 1970's.

The last Fillmore crisis was in spring of 2016. So here are my predictions:
1. No one in a policy position at DCPS has given any thought to Fillmore since 2016.
2. Sometime in late spring or early summer someone at DCPS will propose eliminating Fillmore.
3. There will be no plan for replacing Fillmore.
4. There will be no money in the budget for replacing Fillmore.
5. There will be no plan for facilities for hosting replacement programming. 
6. The parents at the affected schools will organize and press their elected officials.
7. Fillmore will be granted a "temporary" reprieve.
8. DCPS officials will complain about "whiny" parents.

Lather, rinse, and repeat. [/quote]
