[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shoot. Sorry, clearly not a WoTP parent. I had Eaton and Hearst confused!

But I do think Eaton really isn't thrown under the bus. We would love to be at Hardy but since Pride is limiting OOB we don't have a shot. [/quote]

The Deal / Hardy issue is one thing. The big issue is Wilson. It seems very opaque and contrived when the committee has been able to project that Deal is too full for Eaton, but can't figure out Wilson? They either have the math or they don't, and this seems like a way to get buy-in from Hardy (and potential Hardy) families and then pull the rug out from under them in a year or two when they "figure out" the numbers.

That's where Eaton families (and Hardy families) are thrown under the bus.

BTW: DCPS does not distinguish between IB renters and owners. There's no need to get into a discussion of which students "deserver" which school based on own vs rent.[/quote]

I understand where you're coming from, but let's keep things in perspective.

One of the 3 scenarios -- B -- mention the possibility of moving Hardy from Wilson if space dictates. Possibility. The wording says new HS, but that doesn't mean new construction high school. Although I am not worried about this possibility, I think we (Hardy parents) should pin DME down about what they envision with this new HS:

Would it be NEW CONSTRUCTION? 
Where would it be located? In which wards are the possibilities? (As someone else mentioned, NW is large, and many areas are complete non-starters.) 
What's the time horizon?

I actually think putting Hardy in a new HS (whether new construction or not) in either Wards 2 or 3 (where ALL of the Hardy feeders are located) could be great. I would much prefer that over Wilson, especially if new construction. [/quote]
