Save Shaw Middle School

I support a new middle school on the old Shaw Junior High School site and renovating and expanding the existing historic Banneker High School building. Both schools and neighborhoods deserve nothing less.
We’ve been waiting a decade for DC Public Schools to keep its promises and build a new middle school. By 2022, there will be 584 middle school aged children attending public school in our neighborhoods. These children and their families need a middle school. (Data from DC Auditor Enrollment Dashboard)
“The $143 million in the District’s capital improvement plan for Banneker HS could fully modernize the Euclid Street facility for 700 students AND provide a modern middle school at the Shaw site for families. This option is educationally sound for Banneker and Shaw families. It can be implemented the quickest, and is the most fiscally and environmentally responsible.” —21st Century School Fund blog post
