[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nick, the MFP says there are 26 buildings that are District-owned.  Yes, some need to stay swing space, but some could be used.  I don't even know the names of them all, but re-run the numbers with the following buildings added and I think you will find a lot of problems solved.

Emery
Spingarn
Meyer
Bruce (Chavez)
Fletcher-Johnson 
Marshall
Old Miner
Old Randle Highlands
Winston
1325 S St NW (small but perfect for preschool?)
Current Banneker site
Garnett-Patterson
Any others?[/quote]

Nick here.

I made a conscious effort just to write about what the DME provided. In the Master Facilities Plan there is a facilities spending plan for the next six years, and that plan is reflected in the capacities for 2027. I agree that DCPS needs to add capacity, the problem is that the current plan isn't to do that. [/quote]

You're being tendentious in refusing to consider these obvious options, and I think you're doing it because you want to believe that Ward 3's problems are shared by the rest of the city, but it just isn't true.  DCPS and the Mayor do things that aren't on the plan whenever they feel like it, and there's plenty of time for them to figure out years 7-10.

You still haven't answered the question of why an all-lottery system is inevitable even though people dislike it and it increased segregation in San Francisco.  How can something unpopular and problematic be inevitable, yet kicking schools out of the Wilson group is impossible because it's also unpopular? [/quote]
