[quote=Anonymous]If Cardozo is any indication, people are hesitant to send their 11 year old 6th graders to a school that's shared with 19 year old high school seniors. I'm not sure if that's the model that will work at Coolidge. Leasing to a charter makes sense if it's a short enough lease that DCPS can get it back when it's needed and if the charter will pay to fix it up a little in the meantime. But opening a charter there makes it harder to get DCPS enrollment in the neighborhood up to a level where you ever need a DCPS high school. I do think that combining Coolidge and Roosevelt makes sense until there's more enrollment in grades 9-12. A big reason that even Grosso supported taking the Coolidge funding for shelters is that Coolidge's design process isn't done yet. It makes a lot of sense to keep paying for design but start building until it's finished. [/quote]
