[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]let's see,

Hardy has soccer games, boys and girls, on Tuesday/Thursday so they those are not practice days for them.  They use Deal as their home field for games currently.  On Wednesdays they get Jelleff field right after school. So that leaves us with Monday and Friday to work out sharing of field -- how about Maret gets it Monday and Hardy gets it Friday.  As for Hardy football, Jelleff isn't a football field and it isn't as tho Hardy is a football powerhouse so they could use Hardy field or Ellington.  With a closer look at the Maret varsity soccer schedule for boys/girls, perhaps those days goto boys/girls club for outdoor after school time.  And I have to say, post 5:45 at Jelleff it is Stoddert who has the field.  Perhaps they could also give up time for the boys and girls club for an hour of outdoor time.  It just doesn't seem that hard to work out the issues but it seems from this thread that the only thing that will satisfy the anti-Maret crowd is no time for Maret.

Alternatively, the field is free in the mornings and since dcps doesn't start til 8:45, once or twice a week a team could practice before school, particularly if proper showers are put into the new Jelleff building.  I believe some Wilson teams practice before school.[/quote]

Why does Maret even get a piece of the pie? They got the ten years they bargained for, the ten years are up. This is a public asset. They're a private school, the parents deliberately chose out of the public system. [/quote]

If Maret had sat down with Hardy and the B&GC in August and worked out something along the lines of which is being proposed above, it wouldn't have satisfied everyone but the issue would have slowly but surely gone away. The WaPo articles wouldn't have happened and there may not have even been yesterday's hearing. Maret's crisis PR team fouled this up rather badly.[/quote]
