Bowser is simply a bozo. She opens her mouth and says things yet says nothing of substance or consequence.

Wasn't the ribbon cutting supposed to be three weeks ago? Are there not families already in Friendship Place? The construction updates have said that the ribbon cutting was last week of March.
Mayor Bowser has said that she will have announcement soon on when the official shelter opening will be announced.

the plan is waving hands manically and asserting that kids needing more services will not go to Eaton.
If the kids have the right to stay in the school with a guaranteed pipeline all the way to Wilson, I don’t know what value DCPS’s assertions are.
I’m sure that the mayor is on it.
