[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W 3 is desperate for more school capacity.  And this is one of the only possible locations.

But that location is a transportation nightmare.

Sure but the problem with Ward 3 schools is not Ward 3 residents.

The problem with Ward 3 schools is students from all over the city still are getting into Ward 3 schools.

Fix the boundaries so families from Shepherd Park and Crestwood and Mt Pleasant aren't trekking back and forth across the part every day for school and you solve the problem with Ward 3 schools.  You could also eliminate all the back door ways OOB kids continue to get into the Deal/Wilson feeders though that would eliminate the rapidly diminishing diversity at Deal and soon Wilson so I'd rather the UMC families from EOTP neighborhoods get booted first.

And amazingly there are recently renovated schools EOTP that are dramatically under capacity that in most cases are closer to those neighborhoods!

But no the DC Council in its infinite courage wants to see if they can cram even more students into Ward 3 schools and are doing this without adding HS capacity.[/quote]
