[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something centered around swapping part of Howard Law for old Banneker might work, although I would hope to save that site for another magnet school.

Finding real estate is the easy part! Have you met the groups of people this satisfies?[/quote]

What about moving UDC, which hardly has any students in Ward 3?  That large parcel could be a great site for several schools, recreational facilities and redevelopment along Conn. Ave.  Mayor Williams proposed moving UDC to the St. Elizabeths campus to be closer to the population that UDC serves.[/quote]

UDC is a mile from both Wilson and Deal.  What are you proposing this for?  Just put all the middle and high schools in a little pocket in upper NW?

No one wants to put all the schools in upper NW.  Do you think that residents there want to host commuter schools and put up with all of the crosstown traffic several times a day?  How is that environmentally friendly?  The reality is that upper NW elementaries and Deal and Wilson are overcapacity.  So there are two alternatives:  either limit access to these schools further by ending OOB feeder rights and managing current OOB enrollment down aggressively or adding more capacity particularly at the secondary level.  Because I’m a cheapskate I know which option I woukd Choose.[/quote]
