[quote=Anonymous]This week's Northwest Current has an article on the front page that the Lab School is proposing that the old Hardy School on Foxhall Road be "surplussed" so that Lab can enter into a 25-year lease. This just seems crazy on the face of it. As far as I know, this is the only DCPS-owned building in all of Ward 3 that DCPS is not using. Every single public school in Ward 3 is over capacity, some of them dramatically. The three closest schools -- Key, Mann and Stoddert -- are all among the most crowded in the city. The latest demographic projections from the Office of Planning are for the school-age population of DC to increase by 45% in the next ten years. Giving this building away to a private school just seems the height of irresponsibility. (Note: this is not the current Hardy Middle School on Wisconsin Avenue in Burleith. This is a building at Foxhall and Q that was the Hardy school from the mid-1930's until 1995).[/quote]
