[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where's the 6:00 PM meeting?  Someone putting this on MOTH too?

LT needs a neighborhood-centric principal who is also a competent manager for the staff. If you have good teachers, make sure the principal isn't a jerk  -  coz otherwise the teachers will leave.  Look at Watkins .......   The principal better take school safety seriously too!  Nice to know someone IB to LT knows that a good school increases property values and neighborhood stability.  At Watkins someone was arguing that's BS; we're losing neighbors.[/quote]

Show me some evidence that property values are decreasing in Stanton Park/North Lincoln Park/H Street.  Some are selling, which means that others are purchasing.  It's how the housing market operates.  The rate of gentrification typically drives property values in urban areas, and schools lag behind because the majority of gentrifiers are young, professional couples without children.  Take a look at any number of neighborhoods in DC where property values continue to press upwards even when the neighborhood school remains crappy, at least beyond PS or PK.  Brent was a prime example only a few years ago.
