[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “Foxhall Community Citizens Association” - read, a few people who live in the neighborhood and get their jollies from claiming to represent others without their permission - have sent a letter to Bowser and the council asking that the lease be renewed. What is confusing me, though, is whether they did this because: (a) LAB gave their “association” a fat donation; (b) they think public school kids are dirty and smelly and they want to be as far away from them as possible; or (c) both? As a resident of that neighborhood, i am extremely pissed that they are claiming to represent me.[/quote]

Is this the letter that you are talking about (page 6)?

I don't think it really says what you think it says- they talk about wanting to be involved in the discussions and wanting to keep it either a private or public school[/quote]

They also attended the ANC 3D meeting and made it clear that they don't want any risk that other uses of the building could obtain, such as a charter school, a high school, a homeless shelter, or a government building. It is all so short-sighted.

Two FCCA boardmembers (not the leader) stated falsely that the school hasn't been public since the 1970s. (This mistake also appears in the letter.) Another man corrected them that his daughter went to the school in 1996 or so, and it was still a DCPS school.

What the letter says and what the letter conveys are two different things. This is politics 101. [/quote]
