[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not concerned about the warehouse. I'm concerned about the threat of the move across the river for high school, and not because I fear Anacostia. Across the river isn't on the way to anywhere most Ward 5 + 6 families with preteens and teens want to go on weekdays. That commute would be a big pain, not just to get kids to campus, but to attend school events, parent meetings and the like.

I need an OK middle school to stay in the District and my IB school is a mess. Arguably, I should have at least one halfway acceptable 5th-12th grade option for my tax dollars...[/quote]

It's interesting you say this. The goal of the original Latin was "a school for all wards" and the stated desire was a central location. While they did not quote achieve that to many family's disappointment, they did secure a building in pretty good transport lines and added in the buses. I can completely see why you don't like a move across the river. While the desire to increase seats for across the river is great, the location being there seems to contradict the original mission somewhat. I personally think adhering to a goal of central location and robust transport makes the most sense .[/quote]
