[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal was already renovated twice in the last 10 ten years to add space. Shortly thereafter, they covered up the basketball court with trailers. Now they added more trailers and found a way to wedge in a new basketball court by removing garden beds.

The building is already too big for kids to get from Geometry on the 3rd floor of the west wing to art on the second floor of the Reno addition in time for class, and [b]there are too many people using the common spaces, both at one time (lunch) and over time (2000 people utilizing space meant for 1400 [/b]creates rapid wear and tear and accelerates maintenance needs and costs). Every time they add a team they need to duplicate a specials schedule, which adds five new slots per team. Scheduling a too big school in a too small building is like trying to assign seats in a clown car.

Besides, 500-600 kids per grade in middle school WHEN it isn't necessary, and it isn't, is incompetence.[/quote]

Deal's enrollment this year is 1507, not 2000. https://osse.dc.gov/node/1390091[/quote]

The building isn't just holding students.[/quote]
