The problem with Stoddert is that the school is physically located in the far southeastern portion of its boundary, instead of the center. It creates all sorts of weird issues that we are now seeing with Foxhall.

Basically, a crappy boundary map instituted by DCPS many years ago is now having ramifications on how to populate Foxhall.

I suspect Cheh is introducing this legislation because she already knows what DCPS plans on doing to Foxhall. And it makes sense - W3 is about to lose their longtime incumbent Council Member and the new CM Frumin is going to get served a sh#t sandwich by DCPS while he's still a newbie and hasn't built up a power base on the Council.

its some weird foxhall clusterf* that they are trying to drag the rest of ward 3 in.

The Foxhallers are trying to scuttle the school because they don't want "their" park impacted. The Stoddert community has become their useful idiots by repeating and amplifying the lie that the Foxhall school would have to divide Stoddert.

You can hire a lawyer for that one, just keep pushing them, enough parents do it they have to put the resources in place because they can’t handle not doing it.

Wow. Is that all they have to do? What if it gets in the way of time in their Rehobeth vacation home? Or their European Vacation?

If your personal assistant can't handle this without disrupting your vacation you need a new personal assistant.

Yep it is amazing that foxhall was able to get an elementary school. There are like 5 kids who live in that area.

What’s more amazing is that the mayor gave away — literally! — the existing school on the site, so now the city will spend millions to build a new school next door on what has been field space.

UNTRUE. A LEASE is not a giveaway. Every mayor for over a decade could've taken back that old, small building which is leased and repaired by a nonprofit school for kids with learning disabilities that's been in DC for 50 YEARS. DCPS rejected that site for years while it kicked the overcrowding can down the road

Stop spreading ableist BS. Lab School's lease is not the reason for DCPS failure to plan and the political nonsense that comes with total mayoral control of education.

Make like Elsa and let it go.

The truth sounds like hate if you hate the truth.

Truth.

Hate this.

It would be nonsensical, which is why no one is proposing to do it. Can we get some actual windmills built in Glover Park for the locals to tilt at in their spare time? It would spare the rest of us the time to respond to their nonsense.

Of course, DCPS has a history of doing nonsensical things. So no harm in passing CM Cheh's legislation to make sure that Glover Park kids are not removed from Stoddert's boundaries.

Count me as one who would like the Council to spend it’s precious time addressing real problems affecting substantial numbers of DC residents than a problem that has been imagined by a handful of fretful souls in Glover Park.

That's already the law so tacking a resolution on top doesn't do anything.

Roughly 75% of the kids in DCPS come from families that are economically disadvantaged. They're not hiring lawyers.
