[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So only Maret students who are also DC residents should get to use the fields?[/quote]

Anyone can use the fields, when organizations haven't made arrangements for their use.  This is common.  My daughter's Stoddert soccer team has games at Jelleff; you can't use the field when they're playing, either.  The issue here is that many PPs believe that DCPS should have first call on the DPR fields, and should be able to force DPR to forgo lucrative arrangements that help everyone in DC (without offering similar compensation), because DCPS has failed in its responsibility to provide adequate facilities for its students.

Also, Maret is paying for the upkeep and improvement of the field.  What many of you are saying is that DPR (not DCPS) has to pay for that upkeep and improvement?  DCPS pays for DCPS fields; the arrangement many of you are suggesting would shift that responsibility to DPR.  [/quote]

Whatever.  DCPS can pay for the upkeep.  It’s all from the same bucket of tax dollars.

And, yes, the public school system should have priority use to school-use of the public fields.[/quote]
