[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny how things come full circle. The PCA resolution cited above came about because Lab School was reserving both Palisades and Hardy Monday through Friday until dark for their athletics. They didn't actually need the time -- they only used about a quarter of it -- but they wanted to keep anyone else from using the parks so they would be "theirs." DPR granted them the permits in blatant violation of their own rules -- priority is supposed to be given to organizations that primarily serve DC residents, which Lab doesn't -- but apparently they were able to lean on the city government enough.

The resolution was poorly worded -- they should have been simply calling on DPR to follow their own rules. But the PCA was looking out for the interest of neighborhood residents. As I recall the FCCA backed the Lab School in this controversy. [/quote]

Documentation? Or just continued FCCA Bashing?[/quote]

I remember going to public meetings at the time where FCCA members said they preferred the Lab arrangement because it meant the field sat empty much of the time. I remember thinking what a bunch of selfish assholes. [/quote]
