[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maret kids need a practice.  Outrageous— my parents pay taxes just like others so it’s reasonable to get field space—- just like any other school!!!![/quote]

You and all your exclamation points are ridiculous. Go away. The adults are talking. [/quote]

You can have field access equal to what Hardy gets.  Fair?[/quote]

That would require that Hardy + DCPS contract with DPR for a permit to use the fields. Have they done this?  And has the BGC requested a permit (even one that starts at say 5 pm).  Don’t most people realize that the majority of permitted field use at Jelleff is for private organizations.  It’s not a public place - it’s quasi-public and has been for the past decade.  For crying out loud, it’s the hardest field to get on - you can’t just walk up and use it.

And remember, there are children involved here and you may not like how this has unfolded but leave the kids out of this and don’t dare tell the Maret kid who lives in SE and is on full financial aid and out there for practice one hour a day he or she is privileged.  [/quote]

Maret doesn’t have a permit for the space; it has a lease.  Go to DPR’s website and see if you can find the information and form where you apply for the kind 
of ‘permit’ Maret has.

Right. It has a “lease” permitting it to use the field. [/quote]

Thanks for pointing that out PP.  it prompted me to go to the DPR permits page and it clearly states that use for DPR purposes is higher priority than any written agreement with a “partner“. So why then, does Maret trump the DPR aftercare program? Why are 100+ aftercare students from local public schools prioritized lower than Maret?  https://dpr.dc.gov/page/priority-use 
Maret boosters need to shut their traps and wait this thing out. That’s their only chance is this going way. So by that I mean “please, keep talking and twisting yourselves into pretzels to try and justify this slimy deal that reflects so poorly on your school” [/quote]
