Kelly Miller retains Wilson access, too. Great, so the problems all remain.

I think it is definitely weird that Kaya is not at this conference. Shouldn't she be an active participant in this conversation?

She just said extending grandfathering for those assigned to a new middle school... not clear if this applies to new schools versus newly assigned schools... the way she worded it in the conference, it sounded much broader than what the Post article suggests. Hopefully Po9st will clarify.

WHEW - on Kaya. Typical DCUM overreach.

Pissed they also didn't protect Eaton, but not surprised.

Back to Kaya, she has carefully stayed away from all things boundary, so not surprised she is not there.

Too bad. This will make it harder for MacFarland and Roosevelt to develop - likely impossible.

Wow, congrats to Crestwood!



Press conference has started now, but presumably this Post article sums it up.

Regardless of whose decision it is, if Kaya is leaving, it will be announced in her favor.


Yes, especially if announcement includes her new job.

Sure. It hasn't started yet. In the meantime they are screening an interview by Kojo Nnamdi re: DC taxi cabs and Uber.

Right now it's Kojo talking to taxi companies. Is the press conference late?
