[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about building a new middle school? I remember that was brought up by Mary Cheh at some point a while back. Any mention of that in the focus groups, or other meetings? Or turning Duke Ellington back to Western. Seems like better option to overcrowding, Would have to pull kids from successful school and put them into failing ones in unsafe neighborhoods. [/quote]

Talk about Ellington getting moved always appears on these threads.  The school is being completely remodeled, starting next year so that building is off the table. [/quote]

This is short sighted.  The present Ellington is not near any Metro and should be more central, or ideally co-located by a major cultural institution.  The current building should best be restored to its former role as Western high school.  A state of the art Ellington facility should be built near the Kennedy Center, maybe on air rights above the freeway or near Arena Stage in SE.  That would be a great educational enhancement opportunity.[/quote]
