[quote=Anonymous][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]

This is so deeply ignorant.  There are areas with more highly concentrated poverty and greater needs, but there are also BEAUTIFUL and SAFE area of both Wards 7 and 8 east of river (Hillcrest, Historic Anacostia, Fort Dupont, Kenilworth  to name a few). My family bikes to some of these from Ward 6 and drives to others without any real safety concerns.

I have no idea there Latin II should or will end up, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people live in a total bubble.  There's been plenty of street crime around Cap Hill, Brookland, H St., Kingman Park, Trinidad. [/quote]

The PP mentioned accessibility, not crime or beauty[/quote]
