[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a prospective Bridges and Shining Stars family, I've been reading the SSMA threads about the fallout of the expected location on Taylor Street next to the current Bridges location. The accusation is that SSMA approached Bridges and asked Bridges if it was going to use the new space, and Bridges said that it had no plans to do so. SSMA negotiated into the space but did not receive a signed copy of the lease, and at the last minute, Bridges negotiated with the landlord and won the space, screwing over SSMA. I'm curious what Bridges families know about the process and what happened from Bridges' perspective. (Bridges is not coming out looking like a decent player based on what I have read.) I'd love to hear from Bridges families about what they have been told. Thanks.[/quote]

I think Bridges was supposed to get Sharpe,  but was getting jerked around by DCPS and had to scramble for space at the last minute.  This is a peril of the charter system.   As the kids say, "don't hate the player,  hate the game."[/quote]
