[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin II would be asking for a great deal of trouble in locating from Brookland to Ward 7 or 8 a few years in. They'd risk having most of the families on board failing to follow Latin across the river. The leadership needs the enrollment continuity and stakeholder buy-in to succeed and knows it. They're not going to want awkward press related to dozens, perhaps scores, of "racist" and "elitist" UMC families, along with low SES minority families who can't handle a major commute change, dropping out over a move Across the River. I wager that they pick a permanent location within a couple miles of the temp location.[/quote]

That has been their stated plan since they announced the expansion. It’s not exactly a bait and switch if parents just aren’t paying attention.[/quote]

+1000. Only people who live on Twitter and FB and DCUM thin a school would care about the "bad press" (i.e. DCUM naval gazing). The school has said over and over again that this is a temp location and they will move...and they don't know where. It is one of the reasons it was not under consideration for my kid, but that's an informed choice I had to make. I'd also point out that Latin said what they wanted a location in W7 or W8. Since that time both wards have moved across the river. They could locate in eastern edge of what was once ward 6 and still meet their desired goal.    [/quote]
