[quote=Anonymous]Something new? You mean attracting neighbors to "neighborhood" middle schools like JA that are dramatically under-enrolled? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to focus on providing the programming that would fill the empty spots, with hundreds of new bodies increasing cash flow than to maintain the cash-strapped status quo in a spiffed-up building? What's the point of running neighborhood schools in name only? In Boston, the city ditched neighborhood schools in the 70s, as did San Francisco. To this day, public schools families in those cities must lottery into almost every school. Money is not the true problem - DCPS excels at frittering funds away. The federal government is threatening cuts, yes, but they haven't been made, and may not be. [/quote]
