I've lived in DC proper for 29 years and W3 for nine. The only person I've heard of among those who allegedly are running is Frumin.[/quote]
That’s only because he has name recognition as a serial losing candidate. [/quote]

He's also been pushing DCPS to do something -- anything -- about DCPS overcrowding in Ward 3, going to back to before the Ellington renovation when he pushed DCPS to move it to a more logical, central location and reopen that building as a general high school.

That's going to go a long way with W3 voters, many of whom are DCPS parents.[/quote]

Can't agree with the last sentence. Overall DC has a rather small proportion of families with children, which is one of the reasons DCPS can get away with being so mismanaged. Ward 3 has the highest percentage of kids in private school, about 50%. While parents of DCPS kids are organized and vocal they are few in number. [/quote]

Maybe in raw numbers, but at least three of the announced candidates are purposed DCPS people, so there will presumably be dialogue about what to do with Ward 3 schools being overcrowded. Frumin had an active role in a viable solution that DCPS chose to ignore. Frumin also was the parent in charge of the successful Wilson High School renovation and worked closely on the details that helped advance the educational and social programs there. He also played a role in the Reno School renovation with Deal. He has been a tremendous advocate for the Ward 3 schools over the last 20 years. People don't forget that.[/quote]
