[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok - see putting a charter there does nothing for the families (our family included) going to neighborhood elementary schools there. We need a MS option that is in our neighborhood that we can count on. I know all the charter families look at every closed, recently closed, or not even closed but not totally used DCPS building and expect it to go to them, but some of us who go to DCPS neighborhood also have an interest in these buildings [/quote]

I would completely agree, except that DCPS is once again doing nothing.  The options no longer seem to be a DCPS middle school or a charter.  They are letting an empty building rot or use it as a charter.  So let's go ahead and turn it over to someone who would actually use it.[/quote]

Agree. Since the decision has been made not to move forward with this site as a DCPS school in the immediate future, why not at least offer it up as possible 5- or 10-year lease option to a charter school. See what bids come in -- and then decide. Makes no sense not to recoup some money from a potential lease and in the meantime, offer a few hundred DC school children a better learning environment than they have today.[/quote]
