Washington D.C. Schools

In Washington D.C., 23 schools were announced that they will be closing due to the schools

being under enrolled or in poor physical condition. In three cases [they have decided to] soften the impact of the deeply unpopular decisions by promising to modernize or rebuild the schools while students were relocated.

One problem at the Bruce-Monroe Elementary School at Park View is that despite an approximate

$1 million in improvements... broken water pipes and rodent droppings are a chronic problem... records confirm the allegations, showing that pees-control workers were called to the school... three times in January alone... The rodents are going into the food supply... this school is contaminated.

The problems at Bruce-Monroe are just an example of issues at other school around the country. The example of money trouble in the school system in Washington D.C. show what will be happening to other schools.
