[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like Murch is in a no-win situation. How can DCPS spend 70 million on a small elementary school?[/quote] 700 kids is a small ES? In what universe? [/quote] They're spending a lot more to renovate Duke Ellington with less than half this number of students.[/quote] Ellington has 541 students according to profiles.dcps.dc.gov. [/quote] And the latest figure I heard for their renovation was $125 million. If someone wants to complain about spending being driven by politics, this is a better place to start than Murch. And no, the $125 million doesn't include any fundraising by the school, that's all from DC.[/quote] Look, if Ellington needs it, I don't begrudge them the reno. All of the kids in the city need a decent school. I'm just tired of years of red tape and zero getting accomplished. [/quote]
