[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parking lot will be replaced by more trailers next month. That part will be built on for sure, but it won't be enough. All building (and parking) options are being explored. The amount of extra square footage needed by code for 700-800 elementary students is pretty staggering.

The CCCC is a good idea - it was a DCPS school before it became the community center. And DCPS has several schools that dual function as community centers (like Stoddert).

btw- the CBA language on parking is "if possible," with agreement to "explore other options." But teacher parking is important.[/quote]

The entitlement of and misinformation offered by Murch parents (also, Janney) is always vaguely amusing, yet a touch offensive.

The national park service isn't going to give you national park land -- held in trust for all Americans, per federal law -- for your dream school.  And, the greater CCDC community isn't going to hand over its heavily used community center for a stand alone center to (non-compulsory) early childhood education.  CM Cheh can't make this one go through the hurdles it would face.

The CC community center, built in the 1960's - 1970, was never a dcps school.  An early 1900s school  at Chevy chase circle was demolished at some point prior, though.  There are zero community centers in nwdc that were taken away from broader community  use and turned into schools. Sometimes the two types of buildings coexist on the same piece of city-owned land (stoddert; Hearst rec center / former hardy MS).
