[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These comments about Cheh's interests in the schools beginning and ending with Ward 3 are absurd - is there a Ward in the city that has more out of boundary/Ward kids coming into their boundary to attend school every day?

And it isn't just Deal, Wilson & Ellington that have lots of non Ward 3 kids - Hardy, Hearst & Eaton also have decent percentage of non Ward 3 kids.

Ward 3 can't forever be the DCPS/Council solution to under performing schools - in fact that solution has been one of the obstacles to schools getting better elsewhere because there are too many high SES kids in Ward 3, many of whom could be helping to lift schools elsewhere and are not.[/quote]

they are absurd -- she barely GAF about the [b]WARD 3[/b] schools, let alone the system, half of which includes charters which don't even exist in her ward.  I've interacted with most of the Council on school issues and I was surprised to find Cheh so out of touch on schools in relation to her peers.[/quote]

She cares deeply about some Ward 3 schools. She's always available to do a legislative favor for Maret, GDS or Lab. Ward 3 public schools? Not so much. [/quote]

You seriously need to provide some example of how she has not cared about or delivered for Ward 3 schools - I'm not a Mary Cheh fan and could critique her at length but this is one area where I've not heard complaints.[/quote]

Biggest issue in Ward 3 is school crowding. She has done nothing to address it. [/quote]

She was a big advocate of giving away the old Hardy School, which is the only potential facility for expanding capacity in her ward. [/quote]
