[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be inequitable to require schools without arts classrooms (that is, the Fillmore feeder schools) to use regular classrooms for art.  The Fillmore schools are the only ones throughout DCPS to not have such dedicated space and equipment.  Hence, the structural need for Fillmore Arts, as a matter of policy.

One idea would be to convert the "old Hardy school" on Foxhall to a space for K and 1st grade students.  Then the Fillmore feeder schools would automatically have rooms for arts classrooms, as well as address their overcrowding problem.[/quote]

A better idea is to move Fillmore to the "old Hardy school" (and not hand it over to Lab) so that Hardy MS can reclaim the Fillmore space (the school is growing and will need it). One of the biggest gripes you'll get about the Old Hardy School is concern from the hood about traffic. Well, if it's used as Fillmore, the "traffic" is buses that come and go on a schedule, not a hundred or two hundred parents arriving each morning and each afternoon to collect their 4 year olds.

Doesn't Fillmore have afterschool and summer camp onsite? Wouldn't that traffic move to Foxhall? [/quote]
