[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To maintain the positive momentum, DCPS needs to avoid self-defeating ideas like the one recently floated that Hyde-Addison Elem might move to Hardy as swing space while its renovation is being done. This would take away Hardy's tiny among if green space and would employ what amounts to a tent to serve as cafeteria/gym? What the hell? Nope. [/quote]

Isn't that exactly what was done at Lafayette and parents said it was fine?

I'm sure another school would be happy to take Hydes place in the queue if Hardy won't share/make some sacrifices for the good of its neighbors. [/quote]

what a ridiculous comment by someone whose never clearly been near the school or the area.  Lafayette has a huge playground and space.  This proposal involves taking away the existing arts program from several schools (including 2 Hardy feeders) and ALL of the green space at Hardy for outdoor activity.  See all the other threads and previous comments on how DCPS already gave away the Jelleff (only other nearby option) rights to privates.  [/quote]

Fillmore is going anyway -- not because of the Hyde renovations.

They will survive with suboptimal outdoor space for a year or so. This work has to get done.[/quote]

It's two years. Middle school is only three years long. Meyer is already ready-made and appropriate for swing space and the District will provide bussing. Incurring the ridiculous cost of squeezing an elementary school into Hardy and on Hardy's outdoor campus is absurd when there is a good alternative. I know I and my feeder school families will lobby hard against this suggested latest plan. [/quote]

+ 1 'suboptimal' really meaning pathetic...  it also would take away from the "Ellington" field space too.  And at the same time it would squelch the growing momentum for the growing support for Hardy.
