[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Murch should look to Mann for guidance. Mann doesn't have a separate gym and cafeteria; it is one small space. Mann's parking lot is also very, very small. They ask neighbors -- annually -- to donate parking spaces. It works quite well.

I know Murch is more than twice the size of Mann. I know this. I'm just saying that instead of playing the reactionary Chicken Little, think seriously about how to navigate around DC's roadblocks. Everything is constrained optimization; this is no different. [/quote]

DCPS should look to Mann for land. They need to make Mann bigger and shift the whole NW population further west. But lets not get off topic.[/quote]

I'm not sure that Murch is even in the worst position on the scale.  My nephew goes to John Eaton and 34th and Macomb.  Eaton has like 500 students on what must be one of the tiniest school lots in DC.  They have a toy-sized field and a modest multipurpose space that is used for meals, gym, plays and other events.  When the community votes there, those activities are cancelled or take place in classrooms.  The crazy thing is that Eaton is 60% out of boundary students, so you'd think the logical thing for DCPS to do would be to reduce enrollment a bit to take pressure off the limited site space.[/quote]
