[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the problem with this property that there is no outdoor space?  the surrounding fields are not DCPS property.  [b]If that is the case, the potential elementary school would have no outdoor space. [/b] [/quote]

No.  See Shepherd Elementary and Stoddert and Hearst for examples.

Each of these three ES has play spaces that belong exclusively to the DCPS itself.  Then, they have enormous green areas that are actually part of DC Dept. of Parks and Recreation that are immediately adjacent -- and the elementary schools use those heavily during the day as if they were 'their own.'[/quote]

Stoddert looks lovely! How long does it take to do something like that and how much would it cost? The Old Hardy now Lab School on Foxhall Rd is very close to Hardy MS. How would DCPS justify adding another ES so close to Hardy MS when IB % is so low now? I don't have answers, but it doesn't seem to make sense to put a bandaid on crowding at Key without a bigger plan.

Can the lease be re-worked to better terms for DCPS? At least the city could get paid until there's a more comprehensive solution. [/quote]
