[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expanded capacity [evenly distributed] at WOTP schools for all DC residents who want WOTP educations.  Also provide school improvements to benefit students whose parents do not request WOTP schools.[/quote]

If DCPS were interested in expanding wotp capacity then they would try to reclaim the old hardy school on Foxhall rather than try to give it away to Lab almost cost free for the next 50 years. During those discussions Abigail smith [b]suggested expanding wotp capacity was not being considered.[/b]

And lo and behold: option b presents the possibility for a Ward 2/3 HS for the southern sector of Wilson's boundary.  Looking at the language they use to discuss it, it fairly clear that the DME and tech team don't want this, but they've been forced to include it. If this fixes overcrowing at Wilson for the long term and allows EOTP neighbors to continue to attend Wilson...AND it is a school that would fill up almost immediately because it sits on magic Ward 2/3 soil, then isn't this a no brainer?[/quote]
