Please don't neglect to take the simple survey to log in your wish list, concerns, complaints about recreational services in the community:<br /><br />https://www.research.net/s/letsplaydc<br /><br />"Aguirre did assure residents that the District would consider their requests for a new recreation center during the next round of budget negotiations. He distributed printed surveys and encouraged residents to submit their concerns through an online survey or send them to playdc@dc.gov."<br /><br />http://greatergreatereducation.org/post/19927/residents-urge-dc-to-make-shaed-a-recreation-center/#commentsMMhttp://greatergreatereducation.org/post/19927/residents-urge-dc-to-make-shaed-a-recreation-center/#commentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866224861953833601.post-3250982648780377342013-08-24T07:15:50.740-04:002013-08-24T07:15:50.740-04:00Thanks for your update and comment Gwen.

Perhaps the charter school and a community/recreational component can coexist.

I would love to get your feedback as to how we can make Shaed & Edgewood Rec work the the benefit of our community.<br /><br />I have posted the following comments on the Edgewood Yahoogroups: I think the community should respond to the RFO for a charter school with a recreation component, as the two are doable. The RFO specifically states that "proposals should demonstrate outreach to the Edgewood community and 'may include partnership' with DPR on use or modernization of the recreation facilities." So I say, let's start our own school! At least let's brainstorm on the idea. As to seeking leadership from the CM and EOM, I don't think it will be forthcoming. <br /><br />Yes, it is short notice, but with some research, a response could be quickly drafted. As to the timeline of August 30th, a draft RFO could be submitted with a request for an extension to the city. There's a lot of brain power in this community, think it would be worthwhile to try. I ran home last night and started writing, so far I've got about 10 pages of rough notes--ranging from curriculum to community involvement. I'm sure others have done likewise, so I believe it would be in the community's best interest to create the Shaed Community Education Center. What say you?<br /><br />Gwen Southerland<br />Candidate: M.Ed ('14) <br />Trinity University<br />Former Shaed Parent Volunteer (full-time)<br />Gwen Southerlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971862496443438468noreply@blogger.com
