The sky is not falling.  Maybe Brent loses PS in a year or two (and in exchange is able to accommodate substantialy all of the IB cohort for PK), maybe some IB parents opt for charters, maybe some IB blocks get redistricted or given the option to attend VanNess.  PK can accommodate about 60 students, while K, 1 and 2 can accommodate about 75 students each.  Third gade may present a challenge in 2014-15 without some pressure relief, but there will be no trailers on the playground or roof and common areas such as the all-purpose room used for lunch and assemblies will not be sacrificed.  Anyone who advocates for this simply does not understand the culture of the school.[/quote]

I wouldn't be so sure that there won't ever be a trailer or two at Brent.  The school can't see a significant increase in the number of K kids YoY without something giving eventually.  JKLM tried and failed.  The culture of the school is great; DCPS and planning, not so much.

Van Ness doesn't exist yet and, even if it did, future tunnel work under the highway could make it hard to access for a long time.
