[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone besides me look at this list and think that they are going to just close Payne and Garrison as part of the redrawing of boundaries. [/quote] The more I look at the Washington Post's list of "Winners and Losers," the more I think this reallocation could be related to the boundary overhaul. Several of the biggest winners are adjacent to the biggest losers. Loser ($) / Winner ($) Orr ES (-$14.8 M) / Stanton ES ($11.2 M) Garfield ES (-$7.8 M) / Stanton ES - again. ($11.2 M) West ES (-$6.8 M) / Powell ($19.5 M) Payne ES (-$6.0 M) / Watkins ($0.5 M) I can't speak for Garrison, but I heard from a Payne PTA member that they recently found asbestos as part of their prep work, which would definitely impact the cost of the renovation. Given that DCPS has a huge, under-enrolled school a block and a half away (Watkins), they certainly have to have at least thought about the idea of consolidating the two.[/quote]
