[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think the study will say that the schools CAN co-locate at RIA.  That's now the only path forward to freeing the Banneker building for whatever the back-room plan is for it. And then Shaw will take the bird in hand offered by the study outcome, and it'll move forward as a co-location. Probably delayed by a year (at least based on the Banneker construction/move timeline).  [/quote]

I don't think so.  Shaw appears to be shovel ready.  They are going to start building Banneker later this year.  Shaw MS won't happen at that site, it would have to be planned all at once.  [/quote]

Agreed. The Mayor won't delay Banneker construction.

The "study" is pre-ordained to rule against Shaw MS, regardless of outcome:
1. If Shaw MS did not get Euclid Street: study says there's not enough room at RI Ave for Shaw MS
2. If Shaw MS is given Euclid Street: study says Shaw MS can be co-located at Euclid. Mayor then uses the "study" to battle against the City Council and then begins the blame game. Mayor will say Shaw MS parents waited too long to compromise.

The whole game is so transparent. Bowser's optimal outcome is Banneker gets RI Ave, Shaw MS dies a tragic death, the Euclid Street site is given to a crony. The Mayor told our ANC meeting last November that she wants an all-city MS (aka charter) at the Euclid Street site.[/quote]

*edit*

2. If Shaw MS is given Euclid Street: study says Shaw MS can be co-located at [b]Rhode Island Ave[/b][/quote]
