[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city will spend astronomical amounts renovating schools, but only if they're DCPS. DC spent $180 million redoing Duke Ellington, which only has 600 or so students. Works out to about $300,000 per student. [/quote]

Banneker got a $130 million renovation (700 students) [/quote]

Not a renovation, but a new building on a new site.  It will soon accommodate 800 students, which was half the point -- to expand from the 500 students that fit in the old building.

I don't know what the old building will get use for.  Anyone?[/quote]

It's been a swing space for other schools, currently Tubman. It will become the new Shaw Middle School starting in SY28-29.

Wait - DCPS does’t know that building isn’t in Shaw?[/quote]

In the most recent planning documents DCPS calls it "Euclid Middle School" or "Middle School on Euclid St." But the feeders are almost the same as the old Shaw Middle School that closed in 2013.[/quote]
