[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't DCPS just use some of its buses to take the nearby kids to Fillmore? Would be dirt cheap -- in comparison to the charter buses they've been using to bus Fillmore and Ellington kids around (same bus contract). Certainly would be a ton cheaper than building new arts classrooms for the schools that don't have them. When this is considered, the "equity" argument they are pushing makes no sense, BTW. What's their real reason for seeking to crush this 42-year old DC landmark?[/quote] It truly is an incredible institution and DC legacy. Our neighborhood is fighting hard to make sure it doesn't disappear. We've lived in districts all over the country and have never seen the kid of art curriculum that Fillmore provides at the elementary level. With everything DCPS struggles with, Fillmore is such a positive news story with long-lasting benefits for the kids.[/quote]
