According to DPR's rules, they do have a duty to provide space for DCPS above all other concerns (see except from permit handbook below for its priority list). The only reason Maret has a "written agreement" is that it and DPR violated the rules for establishing public/private partnerships in actions this summer. Otherwise it would be next on the list, under "Youth non-profit organizations, including schools, principally serving District residents".

• DPR sponsored activities;
• Partners with written agreements;
• Athletic programs organized by DCPS, District Public Charter Schools, or the DCSAA for competitive league play (games only);
• Youth non-profit organizations, including schools, principally serving District residents
• Adult non-profit organizations principally serving District residents;
• Other organizations, groups, or individuals for private use that are based in the District; and then others; and
• Organizations that “principally serve District residents” are defined as organizations with over 75% of participants residing in DC. Rosters or other proof of residency may be required to obtain permit.

Actually they'd be under "other organizations" because they don't "principally serve district residents".[/quote]

Good point![/quote]

Um.. let's talk about how numbers work. #3 is not "above all concerns" 
And By your own admission Maret would be #2.

I think you mean the British School when you refer to falling under "Other"[/quote]

I believe it was posted somewhere (in this thread?  article?) that the Maret director testified that DC residents make up around 400 of the 600 kids at Maret?  Can't find the exact number, just remember that sticking out.  If so, that would be 66.67% and thus not meet the 75% standard listed as the definition of "principally serving District residents".[/quote]
