[quote=jsteele]In Muriel Bowser's new "Priorities" document, she says this about middle schools:

"As Mayor, Muriel Bowser will work with the Chancellor to completely transform the District’s Middle Schools by 2020, a process that will include the identification of those schools that need change the fastest, the renovation and/or construction of new buildings, and the evaluation and re-imagination of the curricular and extra-curricular offerings at each of the District’s 13 stand-alone Middle Schools, which serve nearly 6,000 students, and for middle school students enrolled in K-8 educational settings."

If I heard correctly, at the debate last night, Bowser repeatedly said that she would reform "four" middle schools. Can someone confirm or correct this?

Second, I can't figure out which schools are the 13 stand-alone middle schools she mentions. Does that number include the four proposed middle schools in the DME recommendations? Bowser's document also talks about funding she obtained for planning two Ward 4 middle schools, so presumably those two remain on her agenda. If she is only committed to four middle schools and two are the new Ward 4 schools, the rest of the city may have some questions.
