Kenny started his remarks by saying something about how the Lafayette proposal was first raised on Urban Moms and addressed the civility of the discourse :)

On the timeline - construction is slower if the kids are onsite.

The budget is the budget that was approved by the City Coucil back in April.  The $89 (?) million for Murch includes the swing space cost.  So 2.5 million for swinging on site at the lowest and 6 million for UDC at the high end.  So maybe we lose 4 million in something if UDC is the swing space.  This project is for 2 years, personally I think that it is worth spending the money for that length of time.  For 3rd graders this is how they are going to spend the rest of their time at elementary school and I hope it is in the safest place and best place to receive an education possible.

Beyond calling someone with influence over DCPS - Kaya Henderson and Dr. Somebody? - I don't know what other recourse there is to get them to approve one plan over another since they haven't informed us which metric - safety vs. cost vs. etc - carries the most weight in the decision making process.
