[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS is acknowledging the real need for new schools in Ward 3 — living in AU Park, over the past 10 years every house sold by an empty nest family/older homeowners has been replaced by a family with young school-aged children.

The trouble is DCPS isn’t engaging in comprehensive planning and the whole process seems as hoc. We have the River School planning to move INTO Tenleytown; meanwhile under one of the options,  DCPS is telling us that Janney kids may end up having to get down to Foxhall/for middle school?!  Huh?????? [/quote]

YES.

DCPS is NOT ENGAGING IN COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING.

This is directly the fault of the mayor and the chancellor.  Why are they not thinking 10 years ahead, while DCUM is?  It’s ridiculous.[/quote]

I am laughing but really I want to cry.

You make a great point. How can River School move into Tenley when we are then going to do the reverse drive?  Why doesn't DCPS buy the location and build a public school? Not sure if that helps with the Comprehensive Plan, which I agree has been completely left out of the conversation. It would help substantially with the overcrowding and from the price tag much cheaper!

DCPS needs to get on board with the Comprehensive Plan and not have a school move in to an already overflowing area.
