Dear CWG,

We hope this finds you and your family safe and healthy and that you are having a good school year.

As you all are aware, DCPS transmitted your final recommendations for the Foxhall and MacArthur Schools back in June 2021. We’re writing to share that final decisions have been made regarding both buildings, informed by your feedback and recommendations:

MacArthur will be a high school serving the Hardy Middle School feeder pattern, with a set of seats reserved via the Equitable Access program for students furthest from opportunity. The Equitable Access program allows schools to reserve seats for students who meet OSSE’s “at-risk of academic failure” criteria, which includes students who receive SNAP/TANF, are experiencing homelessness, are part of the foster care system, or are overage for their grade.
Foxhall will be an elementary school serving PK4-5th grade. This will require drawing a new boundary that re-assigns portions of the Key, Mann and Stoddert boundaries, and setting “phase-in” policies for affected schools.

The planned opening of Foxhall will be delayed by one year until at least SY25-26, given procurement and construction timelines. MacArthur is currently planned to open in SY23-24 (as announced in September 2021).

We wanted to be sure to notify this group first but will also circulate this information to the broader community via the DCPS Planning Blog—here. Additionally, we are attaching the final Capital Improvement Program (CIP) letters regarding the two buildings which have also been shared publicly.

Please feel free to email us with any questions, and please know that we will continue to keep this group updated as soon as we have additional details regarding next steps and engagement plans. For reference, the final recommendations document and supplemental materials are located here.

Thank you all for your time and hard work in this process! We look forward to re-engaging with you on the planning for both of these schools.
