[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst lower grades are around 50% IB, FWIW.

It sounds like dcps is happy to give the funds, but the project planning is the problem. Why is this being framed as a dcps issue?[/quote]

No--planning happened. The cost more than doubled because of the historic/preservation limitations/accommodations. DCPS stopped returning the planning team's calls.[/quote]

It's still on DCPS.  The public school system has had to run historic preservation traps on previous renovations, including Wilson's.  This isn't some novel, out of the blue issue, particularly when NPS owns part of "Murch's school yard."  While it may add to cost, the result of working through historic preservation review has usually been very good from the perspective of all stakeholders.  Again, consider Wilson.  That DCPS underbudged or didn't consider HP review at all in this case suggestes that they've tried to do it on the cheap and/or have inexperienced or incompetent project managers on this renovation.[/quote]
