[b]Define urgent.[/b]  You're with DCPS in wanting to wait decades until we have decent neighborhood middle schools?  Why should the city wait?

A reasonable question. I think the urgent priorities for DCPS in dealing with high SES areas (they also have urgent issues in improving education for the more at risk, of course) are making Hardy a successful neighborhood school (achieves the same thing that fixing the Hill does, but is almost certainly a lot easier) improving EOTP elementaries, and implementing the proposed new middle schools.   At that time (5 years? ten years?) they can seriously reexamine the Hill - by that point they may also have improved EOTR schools enough to make OOB access to the Hill less of a political hot button.   Or, maybe, ongoing demographic change will partially solve the problem, and open up new options for solving it.   [/quote]

I don't think the Chancellor should have the luxury of choosing her battles.  She's the Chancellor for all of DCPS, not just the easy wins at Hardy or shiny new middle schools proposed by the DME.  [/quote]
