[quote=Anonymous]What good would that do when the DCPS schools whose boundaries abut Brent's are also overcrowded? On the Brent District's southern border, Van Ness is likely to need classroom trailers to get to 5th grade in two years. On the northern border, Peabody can't absorb anywhere near all the 3-6 year olds applying to PreS3 and PreK4 in its catchment area and has large K classes. On the western border, Tyler Spanish immersion has an in-boundary waiting list. Where the logic in DCPS shifting Brent's crowding issues to one or more neighboring schools? What's needed is political attention to crowding in popular schools with high SES populations all over the City. What was DCPS thinking when they auctioned off one old school building after another to developers on the Hill 10-20 years back? Let us guess, they weren't thinking about anything but getting the cash for the real estate.[/quote]
