[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone should let the WaPo reporter know that Hardy could have two field choices.  First, Hardy admin has made a choice to use the school property to provide a free parking lot for staff instead of building a bigger field on the north side of the school.  Second, with a few phone calls why can’t Hardy use the Western High field currently taken by Duke Ellington?  It’s just a short walk away.  My advice to Hardy is stop whinging and trying to score cheap political points at the expense of the Maret community.  Focus on the needs of the Hardy kids over the perks of the staff.  And get off your a$$ and don’t roll over at the first ‘no’ from the DCPS bureaucrats downtown.[/quote]

One could look at the pristine green space on Maret’s campus and ask why they didn’t convert that into a field.  Is it because they don’t have the money to pay for a market rate field like every other private school in DC does? [/quote]

+1 Some Maret PR person seems desperate to support the narrative that the only public school interested in using Jelleff is Hardy.  The reality is that multiple public schools have expressed interest. DC is too short on public green space to gift Jelleff to Maret for a song.[/quote]
