[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the original charter , but if they were approved based on serving a economically disadvantaged population -- why aren't they relocating to Wards 7 or 8. High SES parents have the resources to commute. Nothing wrong with them being the public Montessori for the wealthy. There's always Lee and Shining Stars. Maybe one or both will expand and have locations in 7 or 8.[/quote]

That's the $5M question. Other schools have opened facilities in Wards 7 and 8 in last 2 years (Rocketship comes to mind).  [/quote]

You people are so infuriating. You assume that just because a charter ends up in a certain location, that's the ONLY location they looked at. Seriously? In any case, I happen to know for a fact that they DID try to go to Ward 7 and were actively looking at a site there. For whatever reason it fell through. It's hard in the city to find space for a school. Then you do and the landlord wants too much money, or the building needs too much work. It happens. Ask any of the other charters that have looked for years for a good space and inevitably ended up in Brookland.[/quote]

I think they looked at that building on East Capitol EOTR very close to MD?  Maya Angelou maybe?[/quote]
