[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make the intelsat space Jacskon Reed 9th and 10th grade

Make the old GDS building an elementary and middle school targeted at supporting children with language based learning differences and create a partnership (as opposed to adversarial relationship) with the Lab school.  [/quote]

The Intelsat building isn't even for sale. It's a beautiful building, but it's even less set up to be a high school than the GDS site. It's probably ten years and half a billion dollars away from opening. Meanwhile, MacArthur HS will open in August.[/quote]

Goulet doesn't seem to understand how DCPS feeders work. To reduce crowding at Jackson-Reed, they need to reduce the number of feeders. Hardy is the obvious one because Deal is across the street. So Hardy needs to be assigned to a different high school, either an existing on or a newly built one. An existing one would have to be contiguous with Hardy's enrollment boundaries, the only school that is is Cardozo -- which is projected to be full soon. A new school would have to be within the Hardy enrollment area. The GDS site isn't ideal but it's pretty central within the Hardy boundaries.

Intelsat is squarely within the Deal boundaries, you'd have to split Deal somehow. [/quote]

Hardy will feed the new HS, no?[/quote]
