[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle and high schools have multiple types of fields and outdoor space. Maybe there are too many kids for this school? They should build a school that fits in the space instead of doubling the size of the school at the expense of a playground.[/quote] They are building for 700, but keep in mind that Murch has 630 today. So it's not like they're building to allow the school to grow. They're building to accommodate the kids Murch already has. THat's DCPS's fault--they have allowed Murch, Janney, and Lafayette become mega-schools. But at least Lafayette has tons of space to expand, and Janney had a three-story original structure that allowed them to build a three-story addition. Murch has very little space to begin with, and a third of it is owned by NPS. Then you have a two-story original building and historical rules preventing the new structure from being taller than the old building. [/quote]
