[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this Robert Goulet (couldn't resist) is a Council candidate - is the Ward 3 election all about education with all the school crowding/fixes being proposed over there?[/quote]

So many of us have been saying all along that GDS was a terrible site for a high school and would never work. It was a dumb purchase. Now DCPS is finally realizing that it will not work for a high school [/quote]

What gives you that impression? Wishful thinking or FCCA talking points?[/quote]

I don’t live near the school. But I know the site well because one of my kids went to GDS. 
It is small and dumpy. I work as a high school teacher. There is no way the GDS lower school can house a well-designed high school. High schools are complex and need a ton of space to function well. DCPS jumped and bought the building without any advance planning. Why do you think no one else was interested in buying the building? There were no other buyers?[/quote]
