[quote=Anonymous]DCPS wants to cut loose John Eaton from the Deal feeder system and pair it with Hardy. The reason is simple politics. (1) It would be politically untenable in DC that Deal's boundaries no longer extend east of Rock Creek Park, although that change would be a logical solution to Deal overcrowding. (2) While Eaton serves a lot more kids from the Cleveland Park neighborhood than 10 years ago, it is still a majority OOB school. DCPS knows that it will have fewer energized, mad-as-hornets parents on its hands if it moves Eaton versus some other Ward 3 school out of Deal. The flip side is that Eaton provides Deal with diversity as the result of its OOB populaton. Move Eaton out and Deal becomes noticeably less African-American.[/quote]
