You do realize that redrawing boundaries means you are at risk of losing YOUR school.  All of Lafayette sent to Ida B. Wells and so forth. Some WOTP residents are going to be unhappy.[/quote]

You guys have got to be crazy if you think any of the parents in Ward 3 who bought 1.5m houses to access Deal/Wilson are going to allow themselves to be zoned out. That’s a political non-starter. [/quote]

You have got to be crazy to think W3 parents have any political clout. Where is this clout?[/quote]

I think Ward 3 parents have tremendous clout. The JKLM elementary schools are raising hundreds of dollars per student per year - if that doesn’t indicate organization and dedication, I don’t know what does. Also most of the seats in those schools are taken IB kids - these are highly used neighborhood schools and families with multiple kids who will be engaged with each school for a decade or more. The working group convened on this issue was extremely clear - invest in other schools to limit the pressure on Wilson and limit the OOB seats. There is certainly enough gentrification in other Wards to place enough pressure on the DC govt to create a better alternative high school. In Ward 5 for example where some of the elementary schools are strong. But there is zero appetite to rile up the Ward 3 parents. Don’t believe me - wait til 2022. [/quote]
