Did White ask any questions of DGS on the decision to move Banneker to Shaw?

If the Council overturns the mayor on education issues, they own the issue.

And no one in their right mind wants that because the problems (not just this one) are really hard to solve and progress takes many years.

Similar to confirming the Chancellor?

I'm not sure who she cares about. She just got reelected running unopposed.

"DCPS is conducting a public engagement process to determine if and when a new standalone middle school is needed for the Cardozo feeder pattern. Currently, Cardozo EC is a secondary school serving grades 6-12. If a new middle school were opened, the middle grades would phase out of Cardozo EC and Cardozo would become a 9-12 high school. The new middle school would feed Cardozo for high school."

Bowser should be asked about breaking her promise to the Shaw neighborhood at every single public event in the future.

Keeping the pressure up for a standalone or improvements is Plan B. That is what this is.
