[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swinging on site has many problems and as a result, not all Murch parents support this option. One issue: it is not clear whether a builder has been identified who will take the job with some many children on such a "compact" and active construction site. Additionally, there is the question of play space.

These issues may be new to those who are new to this discussion but they are not to the Murch community or to DGS and DCPS. [/quote]

I am a Lafayette parent so this is a new discussion to me - just trying to understand.  The safety thing is, of course, paramount for Murch children, but that is really the problem I have with the Lafayette option too - how on earth do they propose to keep 1400 children safe in such a small space?  What if an evacuation is needed? Where on earth would they all go?  Similarly, the play space at Lafayette is already full to the brim so how would there be enough play space for the additional 700 kids?  I know these are all points that have been raised upthread.  I am really just trying to understand what makes Lafayette a more attractive option than swinging in space.  I don't see how it resolves either the safety or the play space issues - in fact it seems to make it worse for more children.  I do really feel for the Murch community on this.  I am concerned as a Lafayette parent.  I would be livid if I were on the other side of it.[/quote]
