[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with the money, I don't think there was ever a chance the MacArthur school would actually be ready by next year.  Delaying the money might not delay actual opening much.

While these are tweets from Goulet, the decision was made by Mendelson.  I don't know if Goulet had anything to do with it.[/quote]

Goulet’s tweets say that the plan is not just delaying but shifting by putting Foxhall ES at the GDS site and looking for some new magical unicorn site for a HS.[/quote]

Those tweets are confusing.  There's clearly no actual "the plan" yet, so maybe that's what he thinks will result?[/quote]

It's also confusing that Goulet is literally the only person reporting on these delays. Wasn't there a DCPS meeting about the new schools last night (or tonight)?[/quote]

There is a meeting tonight. But Mendelson's legislative proposal does push the funds to FY24 and FY25 (on his website). It doesn't explicitly show up in the legislative text but perhaps that is an overview.[/quote]

I'm going to guess most people who attend this meeting will not be aware of the delay, so that'll go over well.

Also, I'm curious as to where he thinks they're gonna find a spot for an entirely new high school in Ward 3. [/quote]
