[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Allegedly is is the site of a "planned" middle school, or is being held for office space, according to this http://dme.dc.gov/DC/DME/Publication%20Files/Surplus_Building_Inventory.pdf

I have heard that the renovations are supposed to begin in 2014, but I am not holding my breath. They closed Shaw and moved the kids to Garnet-Patterson. Now they're closing Garnet-Patterson for underenrollment and moving those kids to Cardozo.

Why DCPS would choose to renovate a school for 80 kids, I don't know. But then again, they spent something like $90 million on Cardozo for 240 students, so who knows what logic they use.

In the Shaw/U Street area, Meyer, Garnet-Patterson, Shaw, and Grimke will all be vacant next year (not clear on what is going on with Grimke - it's not on the list). It is pretty outrageous that not one of these properties is up for bid. [/quote]

Old thread but here is the latest on the Grimke school, as of a month ago:
