[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a Janney parent, nor a prospective Janney parent.

But the cold, hard reality is that Janney's projected numbers demand an addition. Period. If you can't acknowledge that, then there is no possibility for a rational discussion.

Do other schools' projections warrant additions too? Yes. Mann is a worse situation than Janney. It is getting an addition. Murch and Lafayette are also severely overcrowded. I believe they're both on the docket for additions too.

People crowing "but what about my neighborhood school that's old but under capacity..." deserve little more than "sorry, but money is tight and we have to spend it where the enrollment dictates the best value. Goodbye."

This isn't hard to understand, folks. And it ain't no scandal either.

Again, I am not and will not be a Janney parent, so I'm arguably in the same shoes as the negative Nancies here. [/quote]

Are you really this ignorant??  You can't look at Janney's enrollment and projected growth in isolation.  You have to compare it to the needs, state of buildings, growth expectations of all the schools in DCPS.  You also have to look at the wisdom of funneling more millions into a school that JUST had a major renovation when boundary review is coming.

Your defense of this shows such cluelessness... Or selfishness.  Yeah, I know, you're "not a Janney parent."  Yet you are still clueless in their favor so they should be grateful for your defense of their greed.[/quote]
