[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for Van Ness, if EYA and other developers aren't pushing for the school to re-open, why would Kaya have committed to a SY 2015-2016 timeline for re-opening it with at least PreS3, PreK and K, in public, several times in the last six months?

DCPS is planning fall meetings with CQ parents to choose a curriculum (Reggio Emilia?) etc.

Capitol Quarter parents seem convinced that the school is in fact going to re-open in 2015 after a major renovation, with private sector seed money for landscaping, computers etc.  Sounds unlikely, yes.  The inside of the building isn't in great shape and it's an asphalt jungle outside.[/quote]
Go to this link and look at page 91:

DC government budget $10 million for the re-opening of Van Ness.  It's happening.
