[quote=Anonymous]Chancellor Henderson and Tommy Wells estimated that it would take two million to re-open Van Ness as an Elementary school.

DCPS pledged to re-open the school by 2015. The Chancellor met with a hundred Near Southeast residents and said with current population trends the neighborhood can support an elementary in 2015, and perhaps earlier. This was a disappointment to the stroller filled community who wanted it opened in 2011.

Th area had been zoned for Amidon, and the Chancellor gave them the additional right to feed into Tyler if they want. There has been little interest from Near Southeast in Tyler to date.

The Van Ness building is currently occupied and if it's good enough for adults it's be good enough for kids.

Capitol Quarter in Near Southeast is a Hope Six project where all of the 700 public housing domiciles that were removed are being reintegrated into a new mixed income community. The neighborhood full of urban homesteaders who represent an ideal launching pad for another Hill success story. [/quote]
