[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love LAB. It's  great school and a boon to our vibrant city that its located in DC. HOWEVER, it's a private entity. It charges 40,000 a year. It fundraises. I am positive that DC school children placed in LAB bring DC taxpayer funding with them. There are properties for sale--why didn't they jump on St. Anne's? Fannie Mae? 
When I read other threads about overcrowding at Janney, Murch, Eaton etc. it is clear DC should hang on to this property for an elementary, middle, or high school. Or for a charter of any stripe. it is outrageous when DC public school children are learning in overcrowded conditions to give away potential school real estate.
NO sweetheart deal![/quote]

No they should give it to the lab school. Even if that area gets crazy crowded(it will not because it is about maxed in term of families), the property is really limited. It is in a very low density area when compared to Key. You have Georgetown university, Georgetown student renters, the German embassy, the main Lab school, GDS, St pat, GW, Field School, etc taking up much if the land in the area. These places do not need an elementary school. [/quote]
