Yesterday ANC 6E01 Commissioner Alex Padro announced the new DC city budget includes plans to replace the old Shaw Middle School with a new school on the existing property.
It is not clear what this will mean for the Shaw Dog Park, which resides on the old school’s grounds. We will monitor the developments carefully and keep you informed.
SPDA President Brad Scarborough’s response to the announcement:
Alex,
I just saw your announcement regarding the replacement of Shaw Middle at the site of the existing Shaw Middle school. While the Shaw Dog Park community is excited for this announcement, we are also a little concerned about the future of the dog park. We want to reach out to you early and often to make certain that Shaw Dog Park can always be an active voice in supporting both a new school as well as maintaining an accessible dog park for the Shaw community. We look forward to working with you and the City Council as this project moves forward. If there is any additional information you can share regarding this announcement please do.Thanks again for all of your support of Shaw Dog Park!
Bradley Scarborough
President, Shaw Dog Park Association
