[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the MacArthur school exists both because Ward 3 parents demanded adequate schooling, and because it will open up more OOB seats either at MacArthur or at J-R.  There's no tension between those views.   We'll see in 5+ years if J-R is still super overcrowded or if DCPS limits numbers through limiting OOB.  I'd bet the former, but it's debatable.

On Ellington and/or Hardy moving, these both make a ton of sense to me.  Ellington, though, had powerful backers in its current spot pre-renovation.  After the renovation went $100 million over budget, there were no repercussions, and it's not going to move now.  Hardy is a tougher issue, as it's both crowded (not over, yet), and has little room to expand.

Really, the major issue is that DCPS is unable to plan ahead.  Ellington could have moved (or not spent so much on it). Hardy could have expanded next door, to the building between it and Fillmore.  The new building the British school is building could have been DCPS.  None of these things happened, or will happen.

Repercussions to whom? Ellington is a DCPS-owned facility. Ellington is a tenant, DCPS went over budget, not Ellington.[/quote]
