[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't the money just a push for the what was already in the budget for the Hardy Rec Center build to the GDS purchase?   And by making the change it was cheaper? [/quote]
This is true and that was also a recent bait and switch by DCPS whereby money for expansions got pulled very suddenly in favor of building the new school. Since it’s looking like it will GDS will be a middle school, the overcrowded elementaries get no relief. But alas, I agree with pp. It isn’t the most pressing problem in the city although I will concede the dynamics are extremely complex
 
The argument that ward 3 schools should keep numbers available for out of boundary (how could this be a bad thing!?!) does actually contribute to the challenges of many EOTP schools due to brain drain. I don’t know what the right answer is. [/quote]
Charters have more responsibility in DCPS EOTP "drain" within the city than grandfathered in pathways or OOB slots. At this point, many EOTP families would dream of simply getting a PK3 slot at the DCPS 2 blocks from their house and staying the course but instead they get used to driving to whatever charter took their 3 year old and make decisions from there. And again, carrot would work better than stick.[/quote]
