[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is any of this new news? DCPS has been working on consolidating facilities and closing underused schools since at least Janey's tenure.[/quote] Because it's a big deal to the people who live in neighborhoods near closed schools. Neighbors are upset at losing their school (which they may have attended or where they may regularly volunteer). Receiving schools must be chosen for displaced kids. And a plan needs to be formulated for the now-vacant buildings. If you're in-boundary for a school that's significantly over-enrolled, the process probably won't affect you. For everyone else, it's a huge deal. [/quote] Actually, I would be happy if they closed our neighborhood PS 3-8. It's under enrolled, and few of my neighbors would ever send their children there. Actually, some did enroll their children last year, but ultimately fled. I am sure circumstances are different in many other neighborhoods, tho.[/quote]
