"Every workable plan"? Give me a f*ing break. More beggar-thy-neighbor fearmongering, absolutely divorced from the facts.

You got your school, let the kids in Foxhall have theirs.

The main fact here is that no one knows what the catchment area for the new school will be, until DCPS puts it forward.  It's also a fact that the money for Stoddert is an expansion in space, but not students.  There's no 'you got yours' going on here.

On the 'will split Glover Park and Stoddert' side:
-The number of students for Foxhall doesn't work without the Glover Park kids
-DCPS/CWG 'example' catchment did so
-DCPS/CWG was dishonest about the distance from Glover Park to the new school (hike through the park, not on streets)
-DCPS/CWG defended this catchment at all meetings
-The DCPS/CWG analysis of the proposed schools used this catchment
-Stoddert's renovation money was originally moved to fund the purchase of Foxhall

On the 'will not split Glover Park and Stoddert' side:
-Anonymous CWG members on this board, and CWG members hurling wild personal attacks on listservs, say it won't
-Stoddert had the money for renovation put back in, but it's [u]not an expansion[/u], it just moves students from trailers to a building

Everyone can decide which side is more likely to be right.

So yes, I'm happy for the kids in Foxhall to have a school, don't do it at the expense of Glover Park!

It seems like nobody in GP cares for the foxhall school, but the foxhall school can’t make the numbers work without GP. The only plan put forth by anybody involved GP kids. It seems kinda careless to spend 40$ million on a new school with even a sketch of a plan of the ‘old’ plan has been thrown out. [/quote]

"The only plan put forward by anybody involved GP kids."

No [i]plan[/i] has been put forward by anyone. An example map was floated at a meeting. [/quote]
