[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mary Cheh introduced a resolution in the Council, “Sense of the Council on the Stoddert Elementary Addition  Resolution of 2022”.

[quote]To declare the sense of the Council that the District of Columbia Public Schools should ensure that 
 no family assigned to the new elementary school in Foxhall Village has a longer commute 
 to school than in their current catchment area; that the new elementary school in Foxhall 
 Village is located such that it cannot accommodate Glover Park families or other families 
 within Stoddert’s catchment area, as the new school is not reasonably accessible for that 
 community; and, that the Stoddert addition must be built such that an additional story can 
 be added when future enrollment requires it.

Exhibit A of why DC needs politically independent education oversight. If OSSE wasn't a mayoral plaything, objective data and analysis could ensure equity and not perpetuate privilege of donors WotP.

There are much worse things than cramped classrooms for 1he 16% of DCPS kids that are white.

We Ward 3 folks really need to suck it up. All DC kids are entitled to FREE education -- not convenient locations set in stone to ensure property values of the few.

Suck what up?  This issue has nothing to do with denying something to someone outside of Ward 3.

And no, “white” kids (by which I am guessing you mean non-Black kids) don’t deserve to be in cramped classrooms anymore than anyone else.  And cramping them up does not equate to benefit to someone else.  What odd thinking.[/quote]
