The Council has to approve the budget still, so it's not a done deal. The details -- when this school would open, mainly -- still need to be worked out, but from what some are reporting it seems it will be 1,000 students, split evenly between Hardy kids and kids from a citywide lottery.

I'm going to guess they want the next round of boundary revisions to play out before they get into the details of this new school, because it's going to change the calculus of those revisions in W3.


So what happens when enrollment fluctuates at Hardy? Do they have to add more seats to keep the 50-50 ratio, or do some Hardy kids not get a seat? It doesn't seem well thought out.

It will be fed by Hardy so its boundaries will be Hardy's

It's mentioned in Bowser's budget proposal, which was submitted today to the DC Council. Slide 10:
