[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RFK is about to be demolished and have tons of waste and chemicals. I’m not sure why folks continue to propose that as a solution when it’s not a viable option, AND it would also require busing from Brent.

Brent is one of the only schools that hasn’t been modernized and it is a great school and a decrepit building. We can’t risk losing the funds for a brand new school because people don’t want their kids on a bus. People will get used to the commute. Kids will get used to the commute. [/quote]

RFK demo and cleanup will be done far before Brent would need a space on the lots (like, a year+ before)

Agree with modernization 100%.  Brent needs to be rebuilt, and soon.  But I don't agree that we should be just conceding to DCPS that there's no meaningful difference in the commute times and what it will do to kids, parents, and the community.  It's 10 minutes on a bus between Brent and RFK at the worst.  Meyer is going to be 3x as long every day, at least.  That's not something we or DCPS should be forcing our kids to "get used to."  It's unacceptable when DCPS hasn't done enough or doesn't have enough will to find a more viable alternative, RFK or not.   [/quote]
