[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Put a new MS in ward 3 and dcps can boast of another good option. Make it big enough to accommodate oob families and more dc kids will have a shot at a good education.

Put one in another ward and it will fail because motivated ib families will continue to game the system to attend deal,  or stay in charters.

Seems like a no-brainer.[/quote]

If you built a large [b]middle school in Ward 3 and enrolled a large number of OOB students[/b], you would have a Ward 3 version of Hardy. Plus, the proponents of a new middle school in Ward 3 proposed a small school in Palisades. That doesn't sound like something geared toward OOB students.

[/quote] That would be a charter school, no?. Ward 3 already has a middle school. Until it's maxed out on capacity like Deal, it doesn't seem feasible to divert the funds that would be needed to update and staff a [i]new[/i] school in time to alleviate Deal crowding.

We're in a Ward 3 elementary and are feeling like it would be faster to build up Hardy to a high quality IB option than start all over in Palisades. Supposedly schools like Ross, Deal and other have been "turned around" in a couple of years and good charters have been built in 3.

How does one participate at Hardy as non-parent?[/quote]
