[quote=Anonymous]We have been a Bancroft family since the renovated school reopened in 2018. We are a Latino and bilingual household, with me being the Caucasian, non-Spanish fluent parent. We rented in Mount Pleasant and diligently saved for nearly a decade so we could buy a modest home and establish roots in the neighborhood.

While I have known Principal Morales to be warm and professional and have not made any of the "demands" referenced in the article, it was disheartening to read what was published. It is true that Mount Pleasant has changed a lot over the past 10-15 years. I would like to think that Ms. Morales' comments were taken out of context, though this will not help parent-admin relations. As spun, her comments are alienating and offensive.

Regarding the outdoor picnic tables, a group of parents (involving a public health professional, IIRC) pushed to have this as an option when students returned in-person and out of concern for minimizing COVID risks. To my knowledge, no one was forced to eat outside, and the involved parents volunteered their time to assist with outdoor meals as well as monetary resources and labor to ensure all supplies were accessible and safe for all to use.
