[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that in just a few years we will need more school capacity in Ward 3, even with the filling up of schools largely with in-boundaries kids.  Forward-looking planning would start scouting either expansion sites or new school sites before they are critically needed -- one great elementary site would be the current Second District police HQ on Idaho Avenue, right by McLean Gardens.  The existing building could be retrofitted as a school and some of its ample parking could be used for playgrounds.  And large, "fortress" police stations -- as opposed to small, neighborhood centers -- are so 1970s.[/quote]

I think that this is a great idea.  Janney, Eaton & Hearst could feed into this new school and Deal could keep Bancroft, Lafayette, Murch & Shepard.   Both schools could use OOB if capacity allows it.   Some people are making this a fight about Key and Mann when really Deal will still have capacity issues even if those two school were to disappear tomorrow morning.[/quote]
