[quote=Anonymous]+1. Excellent idea. Fact is, DCPS is bad at right-sizing schools in both low-SES and high-SES neighborhoods. Simple incompetence. Any wonder that, within a few years, we will be the country's only school system with a majority of students in charters? I'm holding out hope that Gray either won't run or won't win, opening the door to the election of a mayor who will appoint a schools chancellor with the moxie to right-size more schools. Kaya's nonsense about hanging onto a dozen shuttered buildings in poor neighborhoods to deal with future overflow needs to go. Auction off buildings and pay for more capacity in areas where more is needed. WotP needs more capacity right now, and the Hill will shortly if more than half the schools remain Ward 7 and 8 enclaves. In other cities, GT programs popular with middle-class families are set up in struggling and under-enrolled schools to draw in strong students fast. [/quote]
