[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see why Chen is retiring. The rezoning of stoddert will cause lots of problems for her. There is a new boundary map released by the city. Everything south of Benton Street will be forced to go to the new fox hall elementary school. I guess there are not enough school age kids in the Fox Hall?

Imagine buying a home that is a two minute walk to the school and now you can’t go to that school. Your elementary age kid has a 25 minutes walk cutting through the woods. I guess most will drive? I wonder how much this will impact property values? [/quote]

There is no new boundary map. The only question is whether the PP is deliberately spreading lies, or is being manipulated. [/quote]

What is going on with this? Any cites?  We have heard this and have friends on W (block south of Benton) who have not but are now concerned. [/quote]

What is going on is that a very few NIMBYs in Foxhall are deliberately spreading misinformation to whip up opposition against the school. DCPS have very clearly stated that no decisions have been made regarding the school boundaries. Yet some people continue to insist otherwise for their own vested interests. You should encourage your friends to go to the source rather than buy into hearsay. People want to assume that their neighbors are looking out for them, but some of the loudest people in the community are doing anything but.[/quote]
