Becky - I've asked this before (and will ask it again).  How are you guys working with Ward2 and those groups.  It seems like the mid city community has so many small groups working against each other.  Where is the coordination?  [/quote]

Becky here (becky.crouse@gmail.com) - One of the people involved in our effort is very involved in the Logan Circle Community Association which is one of the sponsors of the Ward 2 Ed group.  The feeder schools actual span wards.  For example, Cleveland which is a feeder school is actually in Ward 1.  Shaw would be the closest middle school for many families in Wards 5 and 6 too. To motivate the city we will have to get multiple wards to cooperate.  And for the record, I'm involved with the Ward 1 Ed Collective. We are trying to reach out to stakeholders to get on the same page.

To the poster who says it's "hopeless because we tried."  I'm so sorry it has been so difficult.  DC is a very dysfunctional place.  I know current parents are standing on your shoulders.  Our hopes for improvement wouldn't be possible without your past efforts.  In this case, we aren't trying to start a school, or even really revamp an existing one.  Cardozo Middle School exists inside the Cardozo Education Campus.  And I know it's already much better than it used to be.  We want to support its continued improvement, and eventually, essentially air lift it into a new stand-alone campus at Shaw Middle School.  That's still a heavy lift, but different from starting from scratch.  It's going to be a bitch and perhaps impossible, but we have to try.  [/quote]

Have you reached out to the Ward 6 families?  We are Cardozo boundary but I never heard of this. [/quote]
