That said...the PP who said the reporter is missing the real story, which is the interagency turf battle playing out at the expense of school communities, is right on the nose. Not just that, but the fact that DCPS is getting basically NO scrutiny. DCPS is forcing Lafayette to bat down this terrible idea rather than just elminating it themselves. They had to know that the idea was going to provoke this sort of response. So what's the point other than to put on a show and cover their own asses? It's really disgraceful. A waste of time and energy when there is so much to do to keep both of these modernizations on track.[/quote]

Then I hope you come to the meeting at Murch tonight and listen carefully to the other options. They may have known the Lafayette idea would provoke this response, but the reality is they don't have any other good options and are running out of time. People say they do not want to delay the Murch modernization, but for it to go forward they have to have a place to put the kids.[b] They have looked for a place for more than 3 years and haven't found one. [/b]So batting this down just because it isn't popular at Lafayette would take yet another of some mighty slim options off the table.[/quote]

How much of this is cost? With an unlimited budget, what would the options look like?[/quote]

The problem is that no one know what the problems are or might be. This idea was floated at the last murch SIT meeting with very little actual analysis included. The SIT will not even be able to walk through the site before tonight's meeting. Nothing on traffic, play space, safety, infrastructure. The proposal was to put trailers on the soccer field behind the buildings next to a row of embassies.

What exactly is the problem with UDC?  There's lots of space, it's close and very accessible.[/quote][/quote]
