[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read Petar's "education plan" - there isn't anything in it that is new, groundbreaking or that Cheh hasn't already supported through legislation and funding.

The only way to fix overcrowding in Ward 3 schools is to redraw feeder boundary lines.

Politically, the Janney people have fought it at every turn - and that is a DCPS, not Council decision.

Sure, we could fund a new school. But Bowser has made clear the deal with both Ellington and the old Hardy site. So where would a new Ward 3 school be located? It is great to talk about it, but the practical reality isn't there.

Literally everything else on his list is part of the existing broader agenda. [/quote]

Literally his only solution to W3 DCPS overcrowding listed on his website is building a new school, which hardly is a brave stance since he knows (and everyone else knows) that it's not going to happen for any number of reasons. It's a nice platitude to the many W3 voters who probably agree with that sentiment but those voters aren't dummies: They know it's just not going to happen.

If he really wants to go out on a limb and differentiate himself from Cheh, he should come out as a strong proponent of another boundary revision. [/quote]
