[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the ANC should put their efforts towards the recent shootings, kids (not from GDS) stealing from CVS and running into the middle of the street in front of cars after school, and throwing things as middle schoolers walking home from school. Gds parents are mostly driving on major roads - there are fewer ins and outs to the campus than used to go to the rat infested Safeway and car dealerships, and I’m not sure what the neighbors would like in the space - another vape shop or bank?  Look 4  blocks north to friendship heights - tons of vacant space that nobody wants to build on. [/quote]

Wow! If you are a GDS parent, you sound charming. 
No wonder the neighborhood hates GDS. The GDS parents clearly look down on the neighborhood and its accompanying public schools.

More blasphemy. The post you’re referring to lists a bunch of indisputable facts and trends about the immediate area, in a neutral tone, and adds a suggestion. 
Yours does the opposite. [/quote]

+ 100. GDS parents are not the issue. Tenley sucks and DCPS sucks as well. These are undisputed facts. [/quote]

And yet GDS consolidated in Tenleytown (why - when it is so terrible?) and struck an agreement with the city government about enrollment and transportation. And proceeded to violate that agreement within two or three years. Now there are consequences. GDS and GDS families brought this on themselves.

Unless, at GDS, it’s ok to make a promise, break it and then complain when you are held accountable. Is that what they teach?

Your premises are incorrect; you are misinformed, if not uniformed.

First off - enrollment caps during Covid crisis: Fortunately the govt (unlike the ANC volunteer group) acknowledges the many ramifications of their DoH and Covid shutdown policies. The immediate flight to private schools affected most of the country, and continues too. In fact charter school and voucher support is at an all time high.

Second off- no transpo issues or violations: govt also knows how to read and understand data.

ANC need to stop incorrectly inferring that because there’s more students there must be more vehicle infractions. There are not; the data speaks for itself.

GDS says in its letter that it violated its agreement to provide data to the DC government to confirm adherence to the requirements to cap enrollment and audit transportation. It also acknowledges that it did actually exceed the enrollment allowed under its agreement with the DC government.
