We the undersigned write to inform the Government of the District of Columbia that the proposed use of JF Cook School, 30 P Street, NW as a charter school with residential units and social services is inconsistent with the interests and purposes expressed by the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods of Truxton Circle, Eckington, Hanover, Dunbar-Shaw and Bloomingdale, all in close proximity to Cook School. We the residents of these neighborhoods informed government officials of our desire to use the former school building as a community arts facility with retail or elementary education programs with library.
(Only name will appear on petition. Email and Address will not be publicly available.)
The feedback I have gathered from our community underscores how vital this building remains to the future of our neighborhood. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure that our vision for a community arts facility and library is documented in official records. Please remain patient as we continue to push for a development plan that reflects the needs of local residents.

The level of engagement regarding the JF Cook School demonstrates how deeply our neighbors care about the future of this site. This clear consensus provides a strong foundation as we prepare to present our collective position to the District government.

This whole plan is a joke. Truxton Circle deserves a real community hub.

Ridiculous to suggest more housing there. The traffic is already a nightmare.

Please dont put more social services right in the middle of our residential area. We need space for families to do activities together.

The neighborhood needs a community center not residential units. Stop ignoring the actual people who live here everyday.

Give us back our school space for us! We want arts and a library for the neighborhood. Listen to the residents for once.

We need a library or better yet arts space for the kids. Not another charter school when we already have so many options in the city.
