[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]False dichotomy.

The choices are not only (1) Renew lease with Lab for 25 more years or (2) Sink money into an immediate renovation.

However, choice (1) forecloses the possible pursuit of other options for a very long time. It seems short-sighted to the highest degree to conclude we should rinse our hands of the building because we cannot currently afford to renovate it. (Not to mention, I think the presumption that DC cannot afford to renovate is inherently flawed. Money is fungible.) [/quote]

Yeah, of course DC has money to renovate, and lot of it -- but the message we've been hearing for years is that Ward 3 and 4 schools have been renovated and other schools have been at the top of the list, and still are.  That's not a completely unreasonable position; but it only makes sense if the boundaries are narrowed to push out OOB kids so that there's more room for in-boundary kids.  And that's not going to happen, politically.  So, "sit and spin" parents!  The stereotype is you're richer than everyone else, so just spend your nepotism-spawned money on private school, or get out!  Git!![/quote]
