It is remarkable to watch it happen in real-time. No shame.[/quote]

Yep it is amazing that foxhall was able to get an elementary school. There are like 5 kids who live in that area. [/quote]

What’s more amazing is that the mayor gave away — literally! — the existing school on the site, so now the city will spend millions to build a new school next door on what has been field space.  [/quote]

UNTRUE. A LEASE is not a giveaway. Every mayor for over a decade could've taken back that old, small building which is leased and repaired by a nonprofit school for kids with learning disabilities that's been in DC for 50 YEARS. DCPS rejected that site for years while it kicked the overcrowding can down the road

Stop spreading ableist BS. Lab School's lease is not the reason for DCPS failure to plan and the political nonsense that comes with total mayoral control of education.

Make like Elsa and let it go. [/quote]

Oh gawd, pity the poor “non-profit” private school that charges over $50k for annual tuition, serves a student base that predominantly doesn’t live in DC, creates massive traffic jams and parking problems for the neighborhood, and paid through the nose for top-flight lobbyists to help it push through a multi-decade lease - announced on Christmas Eve and not approved or discussed by the Council or any other local deliberative body - that gives it exclusive use of a public building needed to educate local children - both able and disabled - for a tiny fraction of what it should cost and then refuses to engage with the local community on potential alternative solutions to school over-crowding.

The facts apologize for being “ableist”.[/quote]
