[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it, OP.  do you think DCPS has any intention of opening new schools or reopening schools?  Because that ain't happening.[/quote]

I don't think that they have any intention to. Maybe i'm just deflated that our current trajectory is more lottery charter and fewer neighborhood schools with decent facilities. [/quote]

More good charter choices mean more people will be able to choose the school they want, and not just get stuck with whatever they get into.  You can use location as a factor in that choice.[/quote]

I get that, but you're still beholden to a lottery process with no guarantees. Tre, there are decent charter choices, and a lot of them have are in tiny buildings with no green space, which those campuses have. I'm not debating the value of charters, just sharing that these facilities were former area schools that served a broad swath of the community. I might be wrong, but charters are more insular.[/quote]
