[quote=Anonymous]No rush to build a new school during a recession. By the time Cardozo is at capacity, Howard Middle School may be closed, boundaries might be redrawn, the Banneker site may be available, etc. We should deal with the boundary and feeder process first (are you planning a school with 2.5 feeders--Garrison/Seaton/Cleveland English--or the SWW feeders too? Seems like the sort of thing you should decide in advance), rebuild DC's rainy day fund, and then think about a new middle school building. In the meantime, get Cardozo a separate middle school principal, offer honors math and English classes for anyone who gets a 4 or 5 on PARCC (even if the classes are small), get the school and its feeders to interact more, and achieve more community buy-in. If few people are sending their kids there, there's no need for a bigger building because it's not going to reach capacity as fast as DCPS predicts.[/quote]
