[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stoddert’s boundaries make perfect sense.  It’s a triangle bounded on two sides by Natl Park land and one side by a major artery road.  Those geographical features define neighborhoods as well as commuting convenience.

Old Hardy also has obvious geographic boundaries.  The neighborhoods of Foxhall Crescent (per Apple Maps) and Foxhall are completely encircled by park land and the river.  It’s probably why an elementary school was located there I the first place.

I have no idea how many potential students live in those two neighborhoods now.  Perhaps it’s too few for today’s typical elementary.[/quote]

The problem with Stoddert’s boundary is that the homes closest to Stoddert are also those closest to the new Foxhall. How the hell do you logically reroute kids who live two blocks from Stoddert to the new Foxhall? It’s madness.

And yes, it’s probably going to happen. DCPS will take advantage of the leadership vacuum between the Cheh-Frumin transition when he won’t have much institutional clout on the Council as the “new guy.” That’s precisely why Cheh is trying take a legislative approach right now; she doesn’t trust DCPS.
