[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does anyone know the capacity of the new Duke Ellington and how many kids are actually enrolled? [b]I continue to not understand why the curriculum cannot be open to other students who then choose to not take part in the extra school time arts activities.[/b] It is ridiculous to have this new facility open to only a few, including to Virginia and MD students. If Peggy wants to open a school then she can open one and give scholarships. As a DC tax payer I should not have to fund this renovation.[/quote] I like this idea but it's not practical given the way schedules are set up now. The arts block at Ellington run from something like 2:00-5:00, so DCPS students dismissed at 3:15 and then commuting there would miss most of it. [/quote] PP meant that other kids should be able to do the non-Arts part of the curriculum and, i suppose, be done for the day at 2:00.[/quote]
