The current Foxhall school plans would mean pre-K3 at Key for sure and likely Mann, but not at Stoddert. Even after replacing the trailers and sending half of Glover Park to Foxhall, there isn't projected to be space.


Do you have a cite for this? Mary Cheh's newsletter (which is dated!) states that pre-k3 would be at Stoddert too.


There's no cite, just numbers. The addition is planned for 523 kids, projections are around 650. If 100 are sent from Stoddert to Foxhall, there's still no room at Stoddert.


Partially correct.

The addition is planned for 523 kids.

Pre-pandemic, Stoddert was forecasted to reach 613 kids by the 2028-2029 school year. There are no post-pandemic projections beyond the coming year.

Thomas is OK with whatever DCPS does. So implicitly OK with the schools.


Thomas has said he wants to reevaluate the sites.


Thomas literally tweeted yesterday that he favors "saving" hardy park.


So this makes Finley the only one serious about addressing school overcrowding?

Yes. If people are truly concerned about school they should vote Finley. He’s the only one who understands the issue and supports a practical plan to address it.


This is bad advice, and I'm a single-issue voter for improving our public schools.

The choice is between Frumin and Goulet. Finley has no shot. While Frumin is not my ideal candidate, Goulet would be awful for Ward 3 schools. Like, you would struggle to design a worse candidate. At least an indifferent candidate doesn't owe favors to financial backers pushing the replacement of neighborhood schools for charter schools.

If your single issue is school crowding, then Finley is your only choice. I’m not sure how complicated this is.

Monte sees the urgent need to expand existing schools, review feeder patterns and increase the number of schools in the ward, including a new high school in Foxhall Village.

That’s a quote from Monash’s website. There’s more but ya, she supports them.

My plan was to vote for Duncan, because I support both proposed schools in Foxhall. Now that she has dropped out, who is left?

And if you have insight into the school construction process, does Goulet/Frumin opposition to these schools even matter, or is it simply to win the target-rich environments of GP and Foxhall Village?
