[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS and the Brent principal surprised parents before spring break announcing that the swing space for the Brent modernization will be at Meyer in Columbia Heights and will now be two years instead of the expected 18 months.   The plan now calls for kids to be on a bus an hour earlier than current drop off because of the significant bus time/traffic issues. It’s the furthest swing space DCPS has ever assigned.

They’re pretty dismissive of a much more preferable spot at RFK — or anywhere else that would keep drop off times normal, make it possible for parents to get to school during the day for appointments or events, and would keep the strong Brent community together.

We took a lottery spot last year and are now looking to drop out, but of course this was all rolled out when it was too late for the lottery this year.

This is more of a PSA — we feel burned and people should know before they make decisions. [/quote]

If you took a lottery spot then you could just go to your in boundary school instead of busing across town. [/quote]
