[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old Hardy advocates - please do yourselves a favor and not have your arguments led by parents who’ve sent their kids to privates after elementary school.  [/quote]

Not sure what the relevance is.

You talk about your bucolic parks and traffic issues - and you expect sympathy from the rest of the city?

Not sure who you're talking about here

You all just seem like entitled privilege poster people.

  As a third gen DCer - kids from these neighborhoods were barely in DCPS even in 1996….

Which is why in 1996 DCPS was closing schools in Ward 3. But now it's 2021 and the schools are overflowing.

And thinking about positioning the only school that serves the needs of many special needs in the area is a political winner?

 No they aren’t educating lots of DC kids for free or lower cost - but that’s also from DCPS contesting and denying sending kids who need the types of special Ed that Lab can provide unless you spend tons of time and money suing the city.  [/quote]
This sentence doesn't parse either. 
[quote=Anonymous]They used to have more DCPS kids until the policy change to uniform deny placement about 10 years ago.   [/quote]

When Lab applied for the first 50 year lease extension in 2013 their application said they had "almost 21%" DC residents. It's been a long time since Lab served significant numbers of DC kids. 
[quote=Anonymous]I have kids in both Lab (it’s the ONLY school closer than Baltimore that can provide the services my kid needs) and Wilson. [/quote][/quote]
