where did the # of students within 1.1 mi of the new Foxhall school come from? You need a base map for that. [/quote]

DCPS knows the address of every one of their current students. They have mapping software, they can do things like "give me every student with distance x of this point." When talking about it, they were studious not to say where those students precisely lived. Student privacy restrictions keep them from talking about even things like how many students are on a block. [/quote]

The important thing to remember here is that DCPS dishonestly measured the [I]median[/I] (and mean) Stoddert/Glover Park student as [u]only 1.2 miles from the new school[/u].  That means that many (less than 50%, say 45%?) of those Stoddert students fall within a (claimed) 1.1 mile radius for Foxhall.  You see why DCPS stuck to that measurement!  Their mapping software is showing them Glover Park students.

We all now know those number are BS, but the working group took them as gospel. Not sure any of the group's recommendations still hold for the elementary school. [b]The money may be better used building a small school on that site for foxhall folks and diverting even more to dramatically increase stoddert (instead of just replacing the trailers).[/b][/quote]

So we've gone from a Foxhall school should be opposed because it will draw students from Stoddert, to a Foxhall school should be opposed because the money could be diverted to Stoddert. Beggar-thy-neighbors much?[/quote]
