[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re for Shaw MS, explain how you get there with a mayor who’s dead set on pushing Banneker in that space.[/quote]

The Council controls funding, not the mayor. [/quote]

The starting point for the budget is what the mayor submits. The Council holds hearings, shifts things around. If they shift things around too much the mayor can veto it. Lots of negotiations to come.

But Shaw parents should know that in the eyes of DCPS, they really don't believe you will ever come to a new Shaw middle. They assume you will go elsewhere for middle school, and then return for an application high school. They will claim your children as DCPS graduates.

DCPS and the mayor have heard all the same things from the parents in the Brookland / MacFarland / Eastern HS feeder patterns as you are saying now, and in those cases the white parents didn't show up.

Remember when Grosso and K. Henderson said at a hearing that the parents who were inbound for Jefferson didn't choose it because they were racists? I think he is going to side with Bowser on this one.[/quote]
