[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per an e-mail from Kishan Putta to the 'hood 'servs, DCPS will allow Hardy (and other DCPS schools) to use the fields at the MacArthur HS campus "for now".

There was word a year or two ago that the Maret administration had finally figured out that stealing a playing field from public school kids wasn't a great look for them and had actually managed to find another (non-public) field to make use of.

Maybe related to this, Kishan also talks of Maret "building a new field" in Chevy Chase. This would seem to imply that Maret vacating Jelleff is at least a few years off. Anyone have more intel?[/quote]

Its the Episcopal Center in CCDC. Quite the trek from Maret, so surprised the plan was to vacate Jelleff altoghether, but perhaps when you are on a bus already it doesn't matter how far you drive.[/quote]

According to Google Maps Episcopal Center is 12 minutes from Maret and Jelleff is 8 minutes. [/quote]

Well, its about twice as far, and that distance will be variable on times of day. I'm not a Maret parent, so I have no idea what's really going on, but If I had to pick up a kid at Maret and then a kid at a sports field, I'd want it to be the one that's closer.[/quote]

I’m thrilled with the location.

I'm excited by the possiblity of good playing fields nearby!

Not a Maret parent or anything, but from reading the ANC MOU with Maret, the neighborhood is going to benefit from this agreement because the ECC fields will now be open for community and youth-sports use under the new deal. Previously, they were completely closed to the community.
