Why is it the "right thing" for DPR to have to make arrangements for DCPS students' after school activities?  It's a different agency, not responsible for students.

As I said, those of you making moral judgments here appear to be unfamiliar with the way local governments are organized, and operate.  [/quote]

Because public facilities should not be pay to play.

Because a rich organization should not be able to have exclusive access to public fields.

Because the govt has the responsibility of maintaining fields and providing fair access to all.

Because no one group should get to monopolize a public field.

+1.

Note also that currently Hardy plays its sports on DPR fields, lots of schools do, it's not a new concept or some sort of special request. It's not like Hardy is somehow asking for the moon when they ask to use a DPR field, they're just asking to use the one that's literally just across Wisconsin Avenue instead of one in a different quadrant like they do now.

Or they could just ask Dee-Cee-Pee-Ess to use a field that seems nearly always available — and could be made available on a dedicated basis to Hardy — just two or three blocks away.[/quote]
