[quote=Anonymous]Ward 5 received more school construction funds -- $152 million -- than any other ward in 2008 and 2009. Ward 8 was second at $117 million. See this link:

I am willing to entertain the idea that Deal got/gets more resources than other middle schools, but I have yet to see data, or a cogent argument that proves it.

Noyes is the only neighborhood school in Ward 5 to receive renovations.  Oh, change that.  Trees and a new playground was placed at Langdon ES.  However, the inside of the school still house mice and cock roaches.  The halls still remain dirty, dingy and dusty.  Yes, Langdon is still ragged, rotten and rusty, but the modernization of the playground would go into your figure.

The other renovations were for McKinley and Phelps.  That's great, but your children and children from all Wards are immediately eligible to attend those schools.

Renovations were to occur at Brookland ES and Burroughs ES, but those renovations never materialized.  
 
Again, those figures are misleading, but I know that you can make numbers fit the way you want.  It all depends on what column of the accounting sheet the numbers are recorded.  [/quote]
