LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Let charter schools use the vacant Spingarn High School building By Editor On Feb 29, 2020 Last updated Feb 29, 2020 47 Share “SUCH A waste.” That remark was part of the running commentary on a video documenting the deteriorated building conditions at a D.C. public high school that closed seven years ago. It was a reference to the school’s peeling paint, the science labs full of equipment, the walls covered with graffiti and the rot of a gym floor. But the statement also stands as an indictment of the shortsighted and stingy approach of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s administration in making surplus buildings available to public charter schools in need of more space. 47 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
