[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree.  Case in point: DCPS recently announced that a much-needed new elementary school is Foxhall will be built, for close to $60 million, within the next two or three years.  Mary Cheh has lobbied for this development for over a decade, kudos to her and her constituents. UMC education stakeholders are less and less expendable in this City as time goes by.  Who knows how the political winds will blow in the future, including where DCI is concerned.[/quote]

You think they're doing this for Ward 3 families? They're doing this so families outside of the Wilson zone (with the wherewithal to enter the lottery and shlep their kids across the park) still have a chance at OOB seats, and Hardy/Deal/Wilson don't become 75% white. [/quote]

Ingenious plan by DCPS. They could give a crap about all the overcrowding in all the elementary schools WOTP.

But they decide to put a new school in an area where there’s not many kids and which does not relieve any of the other overcrowded elementary schools.  Just read the recent thread about it.

So lots of OOB kids will be going there and then to WOTP Deal/Wilson which has been their goal all along and correlates well with honors for all at Wilson.  Marvelous that kids 3-4 grade levels apart all in the same class.  Will definitely serve the higher performing kids WOTP well, don’t you think?
