[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great news for DCPS partner organizations.  I can't wait for students to have more access to outdoor activities through DC Scores and other orgs.   It will be a life-changer for people downtown with little access to open spaces.

Also, I'm getting really tired of hearing constant railing against women on color on these discussions - if its not the Mayor, its the Head of the Department of Health, or its the head of the union (largely supporting mostly people of color.)  Its getting very Meghan Markle up in here.  [/quote]

Black woman here [b]I am glad to have black women in leadership in our city. These women happen to be doing a crap job when it comes to schools and getting kids back in school.[/b] [/quote]

+100.  Another black woman here, former DCPS parent now paying for private, which is hybrid.  Many other black families I know are also already in private.  Some very involved black families are moving kids from our Deal feeder into private next year because they want in-person.  These are not "rich" families either--some might be paying 50K for Sidwell etc., but others have scholarships or are paying for smaller/less well-known or parochial schools.

I dislike the narrative here that all black families want DL--it's a lot more nuanced than that.  Many of us want in-person or are already there, via private.[/quote]
