The Washington Post has a huge list of Jack Evans corrupt actions. In the same year he did the Jelleff deal, he was criticized for using 115,000$ in funds to help needy constituents with things like paying their electricity bill to buy sports tickets. #Maretvalues

Will Hardy’s principal resign? Someone must have paid them not to use the field. No one is that incompetent.

DC doesn’t necessarily need more tax revenue. It need to spend money more wisely. Too much is wasted on DCPS fluff like “esteem specialists” and “diversity advocates” and sole-source consulting agreements with mayoral cronies.

No big deal. DCPS parents value fairness and caring for the community, and won't want to expose their kids to Maret values.
And most Maret kids are from VA and MD anyway--we DC taxpayers just fund them for the pure joy of it.
How is that and who is we?
Tax-free facility (not for profit) and the Jelleff side deal.
Maret, like other 501c3s, is tax-exempt. If it weren't for nonprofits, a not-insubstantial employment sector in the District would just disappear. The District's economy can't run simply on real estate development, law firms, and barristas.

Do your teachers live in DC and pay DC income taxes? Get out a lot for lunch and support local businesses? Otherwise, I’m not that impressed with what you’re bringing to the DC economy.
+1 Yup. When you think of the property taxes DC Government is foregoing on Maret’s 7 acre campus (on which they can’t manage to squeeze an athletic field without grabbing a public park), DC would be better off without Maret.

Not most. 40 percent don’t live in DC. About the same as Duke Ellington where a lot of students resident in MD. Estimates are that 10 percent of Harsy - and Wilson students - are actually MD residents. Unlike these schools, at least the DC government isn’t paying for Maret students education, including for non-DC residents.
1. Pls cite your source for the ten percent.
2. Forty percent of Maret students are not DC tax-paying residents. Cut those kids from the Maret teams practicing at Jelleff and free up that space for the other parties willing to share the space and you are on your way to a solution. Good thinking!
+1 Name names of Duke Ellington students who don't live in DC rather than slandering them (which you can't do, because I bet you've never met a DCPS student, even though you like to disparage them anonymously.) Better yet, call OSSE rather than making up garbage because you're ashamed that rich Maret kids are being subsidized by DC taxpayers because its administration is too cheap and incompetent to find a field of its own.
Crickets. The Maret community likes to sling mud at public school students, but they can't back up their slander with any facts.
Explain all the Maryland cars dropping off and picking up outside Ellington and Hardy each day.
You’re welcome to report any suspicious plates to OsSE but the fact is that you’re just parroting garbage without any evidence to make yourself feel better about grabbing a public park. What is a fact is that 40% of Maret students are from MD and VA. Yet we dc taxpayers subsidize them with a dirt cheap field so Maret doesn’t have to spend tens of millions like other private schools to upgrade their facilities.

Yup. Maret doesn’t pay property taxes, is paying just $95,000/year on a park that Dc taxpayers will pay $50,000,000 over the life of Marer’s Exclusive contract and 40% of their students are from MD and VA anyway. We the DC taxpayers are getting shafted (as per the Op of this thread).
