[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the Lafayette meeting yesterday, I got the feeling the decision has already been made.  The minimal expense of hiring busses compared to building a trailer school from scratch has to be enticing for the powers that be downtown. Sorry folks...

Keep in mind that the Lafayette rebuild is surely going to run over its one year estimate so the Murch reno. will probably end up getting pushed back as well.

I came away with a different feeling. For some reason, DCPS feels the need to cover its ass by putting the Lafayette trailers in the mix--either for perceptions of efficiency in reuse or because the other swing space options are problematic. But Kenny Diggs said that using Lafayette costs as much as the other swing space options. So there don't seem to be actual cost savings. And the cost of delays (which I agree, are likely) would make both projects more expensive and create even more blowback.

So I tend to think Murch @ Lafayette won't happen but that the Murch swing situation will be pretty awful. [/quote]
