[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the private schools in the area offer parking to the their staffs, frequently in underground lots, so it is helpful to be competitive for publics to get good teachers.   The school is far enough from the Metro that most will drive, not walk.   Can't speak to Shepard - but their details may well be different.  Murch already needs to dig for other buildings due to site constraints.[/quote]

Private schools are required by zoning to have enough on-site parking. Many of them have specific language in their zoning agreements prohibiting anyone coming to the school from parking anywhere but on school property. Public schools have no such requirement.

My neighborhood DCPS school doesn't have enough parking. The surrounding streets are all zoned residential permit parking only. We tried to get DDOT to do something -- issue teachers permits, relax the restrictions, anything. It was astonishing how resistant DDOT was to the simple idea of teachers parking on the street.[/quote]
