Social Justice School Relocation Fact Sheet
Back in June, the DC Public Charter School Board approved Social Justice School’s relocation application (see this post for information about the relocation). The plan remains having modular classrooms in place at 333 Kennedy Street NE for the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year. If there is a delay, classes will be held temporarily at Impact DMV Church on First Place NE.
School officials are still negotiating with the Cafritz Foundation over a permanent move to the remaining warehouse at 3rd and Kennedy Street NE. If they reach an agreement, school officials anticipate that construction on the warehouse will take approximately 18 months and that they will be able to occupy the space in time for the 2026-2027 school year.

This is horrible news. The last thing this neighborhood needs is another school. I realize that the decision to allow the school to open was made years ago but, S.D. Ave at Kennedy is already very congested. It will only get worse unless DDOT makes changes with the timing of traffic lights or adding a turning lane. The Aldi will open in the Fall which will add additional traffic.
