[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS doesn't care a whit about neighborhood schools. They care about capacity management system wide.  As a matter of fact, they're fine with any particular by-right school being 0% in-boundary, as Brent had become by the early 2000s.  DCPS principals are not evaluated on their ability to attract or retain in-boundary families. Note that DCPS won't buy or build any new elementary schools in Upper NW, although several of the JKLM schools are at close to 200% capacity, following the logic that there are DCPS elementary school buildings in Wards 7 and 8 standing two-thirds empty.

As long as voters aren't canning their city council members over neighborhood school issues, the city government isn't accountable to neighborhood parents shunning schools.  If you want to get DCPS' attention, you can vote Allen out, though that's unlikely to do any good.

Let's vote Allen out just based on the fact that he does nothing for Ward 6. Also he promised a Capitol Hill middle school and did nothing. Useless. [/quote]

Yeah, he's also soft as hell on crime. They're trying to tighten up the Youth Rehabilitation Act (Google it) and he wants it watered down. A woman was brutally attacked and raped on Capitol Hill, because her attacker wasn't properly punished the first several times he was arrested. I don't like him, but hopefully Jeff Sessions will enable a crackdown on repeat violent offenders. The council members in DC seem pretty wary to it.[/quote]
