[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]167 pages later, why is this even a DC public school topic?  The facility is owned by the Parks and Rec Department.  A private entity, Boys and Girls Club has a lease.  A private school, Maret, invested time renovate the field and pays an annual fee for use.  Some people, claiming to speak for Hardy and some number of others, claim to want to use Jeleff after school or for rec sports teams, but it seems have not even asked DCPS to accommodate their sports interests.  A number of the named schools have dedicated fields (one even has a whole rec soccer league of the same name).  There is a barely used field owned by Ellington that is steps from Hardy.  Strangely the group that purports to speak for Hardy is wont advocate for Hardy with DCPS.  And so it goes.[/quote]

Because we we don’t need Maret’s paltry 95,000/year to get exclusive afterschool use of one of the most desirable public parks in the city because DC is “flush with cash” according to Maret parent Jack Evans.  Try reading news articles-8 public schools and the Boys and Girls club expressed interest in using Jelleff. Just because  the Maret bubble doesn’t consider public schools worth their notice doesn’t mean they don’t exist.[/quote]
