[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Banneker expansion is Bowser’s talking point re: Wilson overcrowding. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/764646.page[/quote]

This isn’t really new. Antwan W said the same over and over — they want to get people in the Wilson feeder pattern to choose alternative schools. Adding another 75 slots to Banneker, a proven school, isn’t a bad idea. [/quote]

I'm fine with expanding Banneker, and I think with the city's growth and school improvement they will be able to keep academic standards high.

But I still think that it isn't fair to promise something in the boundary plan and then yoink it away without a real process.  And that the middle school grades for the Cardozo pyramid need some serious intervention.[/quote]

Also, there is more than enough room to expand Banneker at the current site. This was the option preferred by parents and the most of the SIT. Moving it to Shaw Jr High is a terrible idea. Expand where it is.[/quote]

Is there room to add 300 students at the current Banneker site? It doesn’t really look like it, but maybe I’m missing something. Seems like the Shaw site would be easier to access for kids from across the city (closer to metro & more bus lines) but I know that’s not everything (see: Duke Ellington).[/quote]
