On January 13, 2015, in partnership with the Brookland Civic Association and DCPS, the Ward 5 Council on Education is hosting a meeting on the selection of a principal for the new Brookland Middle School.
The meeting will be 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Lamond Riggs Library (5401 South Dakota Avenue NE). If you have questions prior to the meeting, contact Andrew Katz-Moses with DCPS.
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.
On April 20, 2013, at 10 am at the Turkey Thicket Rec Center, representatives from DGS, DPR, and DCPS will provide the community with an update on the proposed Brookland Middle School’s footprint and other information (see flyer here). For background information, see this letter from DGS.
