[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cackling with a little smug satisfaction here. My Adams Morgan neighborhood lost access to Deal about 10 years ago. I sat in on several community listening sessions filled mostly with Bancroft parents and soon-to-be Bancroft parents who were totally fine with sacrificing our kids, since they were so confident their kids were safe.

My own family no longer needs DCPS, but the school boundary change transformed Kalorama Triangle. We have a lot more doggy parents and fewer human parents. The housing stock is different in Mount Pleasant, so I don't know if the change will be as dramatic for you. But it couldn't happen to nicer folks.

Also, the Shepherd and Lafayette parents, a hard rain is going to fall. [/quote]

The mayor would never allow Shepherd to be moved out of Deal.

You seem like a lovely person (!) but terribly naive. [/quote]

Ha! The mayor is counting the days until Matilda is in Catholic school.  :roll: [/quote]

I wouldn’t be so sure. From what I hear in my friends group, Shepherd is an amazing little school. Also, that’s not the child’s name and we should stop referring to kids by name anyhow. I wouldn’t underscore the presence of the J&J and D9 families at Shepherd. [/quote]

I think it's less about Mayor Bowser's own child and more about her connections to Ward 4. [/quote]

Her daughter's name is Miranda - and her mother is a public figure and released her name to the media. Just like Mayor Bowser has repeatedly said she was going to put her in Catholic school eventually. Wells and Coolidge are also in Ward 4. Manor Park where Bowser grew up is in Ward 4 and routed to Wells/Coolidge. Once she's out of office she is not beholden to CC and Gold Coast $$$. [/quote]

No doubt she will send her child private but that won’t happen until after this boundary review. She will protect W4 and SP because that’s where her political base and its money reside. She will need them to get Eleanor Holmes Norton’s seat when EHN retires.

[/quote]

She is not getting that seat, EHN has already said she wants Kenyan for that seat.[/quote]

Then there’s going to be fight and Bowser is not going to antagonize possible supporters by right-sizing enrollment across DCPS.
