[quote=Anonymous]One of the many problems with this move is that the Hyattsville Middle School community has had years to plan and prepare for disruption. Yeah, there's been a lot of uncertainty, but nobody's been hiding the ball about that. Nobody knew where the kids would be placed during construction, but they knew that the students would be bussed somewhere and that site options were limited, so there was some unfortunate chance that the student body would be split up. It impacts middle school students for 2 years and then there will be a shiny new middle school at the end of that time. Families that might be impacted had a chance to consider their options. They had lead time to switch to independent, parochial, or specialty schools. Families moving to the area knew that this was in flux. Families were able to move away if the level of uncertainty was unacceptable.

Announcing this permanent move in mid-March to the RGMS community just, to put it bluntly, screws them. They had no idea this was even under consideration, not to mention plenty of reasons, such as the renovations mentioned above, to choose the long term commitment to Montessori. They have so few options now. This is disaster for that whole school community and is likely to destroy the school, at least as it's now constituted.[/quote]
