[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP... tongue in cheek comments aside, it really is true that GDS has handled their expansion/consolidation in a much more community friendly way than Sidwell. If you've followed the respective ANC processes, you know this is true. I think this is why so many people refer to GDS as the most authentically "Quaker" school in DC.[/quote]
I don't know if this is intended to be serious, but it's actually spot on having watched the two processes closely. It's especially the case with respect to carbon emissions, which SFS surprisingly doesn't seem to care much about.

SFS has engaged with the community for years around future contsruction and had a strong neighborhood agreement before the plans changed because of the purchase of 3939 Wisconsin Ave. It is simply not true that the relationship is not community friendly.

And where carbon is concerned, the school has retrofitted the campus to be as green as the DC Government will allow, and there is no reason to believe that future construction won't be net energy and carbon.[/quote]
