Seriously—we’re in year 5 of a terrible principal, but everyone gave him a chance in years one and two to learn the job. If she still sucks in years three and so on, then I’d start complaining. But conserve your energy. Mcps gets rid of no one who can show the most basic level of competence.[/quote]

When it is a school safety issue, parents can't afford to be silent. Moving large buses to a small lot with many students walking through the area is a safety issue.[/quote]

1) The only kids getting run over are the kids who's parents are dropping them off and don't follow the protocol. Easily solvable - follow the rules. Be more patient, get there earlier or put your kid on the bus.

2)  Tell your child to wait until all the traffic has cleared, no more than 10 minutes and they can safely make their way to your car.

3) Put your kids on the bus. Most of the kids dropped off do not live where there is no bus service.

4) Be really really effing glad that apparently the biggest issue at our school is apparently the drop off and pick up.

5) There are actually a lot of bigger issues and it is mind blowing that a whole set of you are focused only on this small thing that you can easily avoid by following the suggestions above. I can't figure out if you are myopic or just selfish.[/quote]

If you were a Churchill parent you would realized that the proposed lot on Victory is the student parking lot and wasn't designed for buses.  Students walk through the lot to get to their cars and will be driving through the lot to exit [b](sometimes disobeying the new traffic pattern and exiting at the entrance).[/b]  [/quote]

I am a Churchill parent who puts her kid on the bus. If the students are disobeying the traffic pattern then on whom does the responsibility fall? The students in that lot are Seniors, old enough to know better and follow the rules and all of you learn a little bit of patience. [/quote]

Yes, I hear your point, but there are safer places to move those buses (for all involved). There is no justification for putting them in the lot where seniors park and parents do student pick-up. By the way, I'm guessing that it hasn't occurred to some people that some students have actual commitments after school that are time sensitive (doctor appointments, tutors, jobs etc.) that were based on a schedule that students could get out of that parking lot at 2:30 either driving their own car or being picked up. As the parent of another child at the school, it's not so easy to change those things. Many of these appointments are already set and the provider can't re-arrange them. I actually tried to re-arrange my child's math tutor for a later time because of the parking lot issue and they said they were fully booked and can't move students around in their schedule. Now my kid will be late every week. This will affect MANY students.[/quote]
