[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note that the "double swing" was announced on Jan. 21 after multiple delays and now the budget issues have been announced, yet still no community meeting.  DGS, DCPS, Mary Cheh, Bowser and everyone else involved should come before the community to 1) explain how this circus act swing will work and 2) explain why many of the key BASIC AMENITIES, such as a technology center, cafeteria or a gymnasium that the whole school can fit in, and reasonable play space are being eliminated or drastically reduced in size.  They need to answer these questions, now.

Fitting 700+ kids on a tiny square block is insane and we as Murch parents have come to accept this as normal.  We're losing our playground to a surface parking lot!

Now we're essentially getting a renovation that provides very little and takes away much (like almost the entire playground).  Just band-aid the current building then.  Add electrical over the summer and re-coat the lead paint and move on.  This renovation is not worth it at this point.  What a repeated abject failure on DC's part!

+1000 I have written my letters and my heart goes out to the Murch families and administration. This is the type of school that DCPS should hold up as an example, but it keeps dropping the ball. Keep the pressure on DCPS to do right by Murch. If this happens to Murch I am worried about all the children in the school system. Know that your neighbors are very concerned and want to help.[/quote]
