[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC doesn't want to use the building if they don't renew Lab's lease.  The building is in dire need of an overhaul, so DCPS would have to shell out money it doesn't have.  [/quote]

Actually, one of the curious things in all this is that  no one at DCPS has been willing to say for the record that they don't want the building. That came up in the Council hearing on Tuesday. The closest thing is Abby Smith saying she feels the need for special ed is greater than elementary schools. Which is not the same thing as saying the building isn't needed.

The terms of the lease are a giveaway. It's highly likely that DC won't collect a dime of rent for the entire 50 years.

Interestingly, two charter school leases are being considered at the same time. The private school which serves overwhelmingly MD and VA kids is getting much better terms than the taxpayer-supported public schools.[/quote]
