Federal Land May Be Given to D.C. Charter Boarding School

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/15/AR2005071501693.html

President Bush has proposed to give the District of Columbia control over roughly 200 acres of federal land in the city. The move could increase D.C. tax revenue by tens of millions of dollars a year. Fifteen acres of National Park Service land northwest of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium would be turned over to the city on the condition that some of it be provided to a D.C. public charter boarding school, such as the SEED School of Washington which serves approximately 320 students in grades seven through twelve.
