[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way the Cap Quarters families will allow the boundary to extend over S Cap and include public housing like Greenleaf.   There is a reason they lobbied for years for DCPS to do the study to determine to reopen Van Ness and that reason was NOT to include more public housing kids.  Amidon is already underenrolled, and the biggest feeder of kids to AMidon comes from about 450 units of family public housing in SW.  [/quote]

That's interesting that you think the families at Cap Quarters have the power to draw boundary lines to exclude lower SES students.  One would have thought the concentration of influence in Woodley Park could prevent Oyster Adams from being shifted to Cardozo, but that's not the case for the moment.  The same could be said for the Murch to Hearst uproar, and the Eaton to Hardy uproar, and the possibly loss of Wilson for Hardy.  Yet the families at Cap Quarters think they can exclude lower SES students - when the [i]inclusion[/i] of lower SES students is [i]exactly[/i] what the DME is trying do.

What is the source of this Cap Quaters mojo?  [/quote]
