The language was unclear. The point that was being made was not that the city's proposal to solve overcrowding at Lafayette was infeasible, but that the rejection of the option DCPS had came up with annoyed the mayor, who - per her testimony - is not going to be in any hurry to come up with another solutions. A similar process could well play out if Frumin (or someone else) is elected and looks the proverbial gift-horse in the mouth. That is, the mayor is going to infer that a rejection of the Foxhall ES proposal is borne of a NIMBY desire to keep OOBers out of the upper NW and will just let the overcrowding in Ward 3 fester rather than formulating alternative solutions. We all want perfection, but politics is the art of the possible. We have a perfectly feasible solution on the table that solves the most pressing issues facing public education in Ward 3 - let's not forsake that for some pipe dream.[/quote]

The logical solution is to actually draw new boundaries with a 5 years grandfather, so that school populations are rataionally spread across upper NW, rather than cramming too many kids into Deal and Wilson. Neither the Mayor nor OSSE want to take it on, but that is the solution.[/quote]
