[quote=Anonymous]If you read it, the doc was lame as hell anyway. No real recommendations anyone who's dealt with DC education for more than an hour couldn't have thought of. Has anyone noticed that dual language education has parent interest or that transportation issues can make getting to school difficult?

My view was that the people who put it together are actually quite smart but were given direction to keep anything interesting or useful at all out of this. Which makes it unfortunate that money was ever spent for this purpose.

When the last version came out, the NEIGHBORHOOD student growth projections in the document were very, very useful to bash in heads at DCPS, DME, and in working with the Council. They needed to address growth and will continue to. You could point to it for questions like "where do you build/expand a school if Wilson is too crowded?" and not have to just shrug your shoulders when people offered BS answers like "Ward 2," (the home of very few DCPS high schoolers). But instead of usable data we get things like citywide cohort growth, when we know it's very uneven across DC.[/quote]
