Re Harmony, i don't really get why a building for 947 students is right for a school that's not even at its 250-kid enrollment cap! But I guess the Harmony organization wants to buy the building. So maybe they're planning to seek permission to expand. They were just a few years ago bailed out by their headquarters and are in general low to middling performance, so that's not a sure thing. I've never understood the appeal of all this.

Capital Village: Enrollment shortfall of 19 kids seems to be the financial problem. If not financially viable, revocation is the next step.

It's not a building for 947 students. It's a 34,962 square foot building. The DCPS standard for school facilities is 192 square feet per student. That works out to a building for 182 students. Of course, charters don't typically have the same facilities as DCPS but even if you lower the standard to 120 square feet a student, it's a building for under 300 students. It's an appropriate building for their current enrollment without any growth.
