[quote=Anonymous]In recent weeks, I've been thinking (cynically) that DCPS should just say "Screw it!" and build a whole new fancy middle school and high school complex somewhere in Ward 3.  That way, everyone can get what they want.

All the Ward 3 families won't face the threat of being forced to drive across town after come goofy lottery.  All the OOB families who won't support Roosevelt or any other EotP school for fear it won't be as nice as Deal/Wilson can just keep commuting over to Ward 3 for schooling.  DCPS can then consolidate the remaining students in all the other non-Ward 3 schools, and close down whatever is un-utilized.

It would be a complete waste of money, but maybe that's what it takes to make everyone happy.

(OTOH, maybe even this is a complete loser of an idea, because it would stink of DCPS pouring more money into white Ward 3, instead of putting money into other parts of the city.  Perhaps DCPS is in a no-win situation here, because any move will allow people to complain about favoritism.)[/quote]
