[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a Garrison parent, but I'm angry on their behalf. If the Mayor is going to redirect funds, he should be clear as to why there are a new set of winners and losers. When he doesn't back his decisions with any objective criteria, it reeks of political favoritism, especially in an election year.[/quote] Then be angry on behalf of a lot of schools because Garrison is not alone, nor are they in the worst shape. The worst part of DC's funding shuffle behind the scenes is that it pits parents against parents and neighbors against neighbors and leaves some students literally standing out in the cold snow, missing class time, waiting to buzzed into the building so they can use the bathroom (the 85-year old bathroom that sort of still works and that hasn't already been transformed into the nurse's office). Why are parents and principals forced to lobby and fight and raise a media stink just to get these basic needs addressed? [/quote]
