[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

Hi Conrad. So nice of you to join us here! But no. The letter was sent to the council in the lead up to its consideration of emergency legislation to extend LAB’s lease. It notes that the FCCA “is very concerned that the present “the current occupant—the LAB School—[being driven] out of the Hardy School property for no good purpose” and then dismissss the public option by noting that “D.C. Public Schools has shown no interest in using the Hardy School as a public school, and we believe this to be the case still.” No amount of revisionism can claim that the letter is in any way advocating anything other than the passage of the emergency legislation.[/quote]

I'm not Conrad, but I can vouch for him. I am in the complete opposite side to the FCCA letter, so please don't think I'm some sock-puppet. He needs to own putting his signature on that letter, but Conrad is a good guy and I expect he'll come around once he hears how people other than the FCCA board view this matter.

He was led astray here -- and, again, that's on him -- but he was not the impetus for the letter. [/quote]
