[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest. Garrison needs a modernization. [b]So do lots of other schools and several of them have far more serious needs than Garrison.[/b] It shouldn't be this bad, but it is.

Far from being ignored, Garrison and its community have pulled together, represented themselves incredibly well, and received more political and media attention than possibly any other school in the city on this issue. Some schools with incredible needs were delayed because Garrison was moved up in the modernization queue and promised a full modernization several years ago.

Meanwhile, families all over the city feel like DCPS doesn't care where they send their children to school, but somehow Garrison keeps being portrayed as a martyr. DC schools are not as strong as they should be and many are not in the condition they should be. The Garrison community should continue pushing for what they need, but should stop acting as if they are the only school not getting what it needs. It makes them sound a little tone deaf.[/quote]

Actually, this isn't true. A few years ago, a review of DCPS facilities found that three ESs were in most dire need of modernization: Murch, Garrison, and Orr. [/quote]
