[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A community is also the people who slog through nighttime ANC, local association and DC commission meetings, because they get the connections between what happens in a community and the neighborhood school.  These connected issues can be negative -- like the traffic impact of nearby development on the the safety of kids walking to school -- or positive -- like pressuring DDOT to put in traffic calming to enhance student safety or getting Urban Forestry to plant street trees to shade a playground.  These are some of the synergies that result from a strong neighborhood-school orientation.[/quote]

I've attended (and presented at) more ANC meetings in the neighborhood of my OOB boundary school than probably 90% of the IB families at our school. Not sure what your point is. [/quote]

On what kinds of issues?  Or asking for grant money for the school?

The strong neighborhood-school identity and the neighborhood's political focus behind the school are some of the reasons why Janney has gotten multiple renovations in the last decade with amenities like underground parking for their teachers.  How is Eaton's renovation going?[/quote]

How is Hearst's renovation going?  Oh that's right, it's done.  And awesome.[/quote]
