[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks need to give this a chance. With the changing demographics of the inner NW SWW@FS has the chance to become an attractive PS-8 option. There is no reason this should harm the SWW HS. [/quote]

Not true. The HS needs a full time principal- there are close to  600 students in the HS. Not a single other HS in the city runs without a full time principal. DCPS and the principal keep pushing to split the HS campus and send some students to FS. The principal's proposal is to split the junior class and send half to FS on alternating days. This crazy idea is not supported by the HS community- faculty, students or parents. DCPS agreed to hold off on sending students to FS this year and now next year, but they will not make it permanent. It means the HS will keep fighting to prevent this from happening. The budgets are shared- even though DCPS said they would be split this year. If FS does not meet its enrollment projections, the HS would be affected by those cuts or forced to take more students to make up the $. Right now all FS students have to test in to the HS just like every other student in the city, but who's to say that will last. The merger is not good for the HS- not at all.[/quote]

Who in DCPS is responsible for this decision?  Kaya? Someone else?  The whole thing seems such a clusterf*ck.  I guess it's not a big WPost story because it only involves a few hundred kids.[/quote]
