[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent advocates are not trying to accelerate or "pull forward" the Brent renovation. Brent has already been recognized by the city for years as being in need of renovation of its outdated and overcrowded space, and the original schedule was derailed (like so many things) by COVID. No one is trying to jump the line, and its irresponsible to suggest otherwise.[/quote]

Thank you. There are multiple other elementary schools with more dire facilities needs than Brent's and people need to understand that if Brent's schedule got moved up, it would impact kids and teachers at those schools. For instance I know for a fact that J.O. Wilson is in dire need of new facilities. They should absolutely be further up the queue.

It would be great if no one had to wait but it's just not the reality in this district (or in almost any public school district).[/quote]

Brent has already had Phase 1 renovations and doesn't have "dire needs" on that front.  They do have severe overcrowding and need more physical space with limited room to expand within existing footprint.  Like all overcrowded schools that's a reasonable argument.  It would also be reasonable to draw school districts which can accommodate their boundaries (see upper NW).  [b]Brent should seriously reconsider its PK space[/b][/quote]

Critics of Brent's admins and PTA have been saying that for a decade now.  It's just not happening.[/quote]
