ANACOSTIA (WUSA) -- East of the river and a multi-million dollar construction project. But some parents and community leaders are upset that students at Anacostia High are still attending classes in the building during the renovation.
"They should be moved during the construction, anything can happen," said one parent.
"Kids should not be running around at a construction site, period," said another.
At issue?...students from Wilson High School in NW - which is also under construction - have been relocated to the University of the District of Columbia.
School Board member William Lockridge finds that suspicious. "It's because it's southeast and in southeast they think parents aren't going to stand up for the students, " he explained, "we need one school department regardless of socio-economics or race."
