[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Color me shocked. DCPS always holds its citywide athletic events at the least safe, least central locations. Our ES basketball team needed a police escort to walk from the school to the bus after a recent playoff game. It's a recipe for a lawsuit.[/quote]

That's where the DC State golf Championship match was held too.[/quote]

All the swim meets, all of the track meets, many of the baseball and softball games are in the far eastern corner or Anacostia.  I think it's a combo of where they build the nice facilities, what's convenient to DCIAA staff, and some weird desire to "stick it" to the west side of town.[/quote]

By "convenient to DCIAA staff," I mean their office, which is by the Arboretum.  I'm not suggesting I know where the staff live.

And while that may make sense in one way, it's very DCPS to put the convenience of central staff over the time kids from all over the city spend in a bus rather than in class.[/quote]
