[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad investment.  Invest in entirely new spaces much much larger than enrollment?  An enrollment that won't increase until population increases starting now roll up to AGE 14!???!  So these places will have 10 years useful life wasted below capacity.  What does that add up to besides millions of waste, literally wasted space?

We should have built the new mega schools 10 years from now, not today. Modernize square footage needed for current enrollments, but no 100% new schools until the places start to actually fit growth.  DC lost student age population in wide swathes 2000-2010.  This was predictable and could have been planned for![/quote]

+1. Enrollment is decreasing in DCPS and no one who has an alternative and/or care about education will send their kid to Dunbar High School.  DCPS is remarkable on how they throw money into the wind...  Now they have a gorgeous facility utilized at less than 1/2 capacity.  Who plans like this?!?

Dunbar is not Los Vegas or Disneyland.  Just b/c you build it, doesn't mean people will come.[/quote]
