DGS held a community meeting on April 20 to provide updates about the final site selection for the new Brookland foreign language and arts middle school to serve Ward 5. DGS originally presented a few options for locating the school in close proximity to Turkey Thicket Rec Center. DGS has now decided to build on the site of the old Brookland Elementary School. Currently, the plan is for the school to be built in time for the 2014-2015 school year. The presentation and FAQs provided by DGS can be viewed here and here.
