[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capitol Hill has too many elementary school seats.  If we don't want to be citywide elementary schools, some Cap Hill schools need to close.

No one said that at the recent school closing meetings.[/quote]

Fine. Close the crappy ones and keep the rest local schools.   Any neighborhood school can choose a specialty approach.  DCPS is not in the business of city-wide schools.  That is the job of the charters, [b]which have been barred from becoming neighborhood schools. [/b] If SWS and Cap Mont. want to be charter schools, so be it.  If not, find an IB catchment area.

For now.  There is political movement to create proximity preference in their lotteries.  The schools, the PCSB, and the council are interested.  The councilmembers are tired of having their constituents claim that a new school just moved in around the block, and they can't get in.  Every councilmember who has a charter in his/her ward (which includes all but Ward 3) is listening.[/quote]
