[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When art finally got a dedicated space at Murch (about 4 years ago) it was in a trailer without running water. It was literally just a small, old trailer without area to hang or dry any art. It was so bad that the art teacher quit over the situation. You know what happened? The parents demanded more. There are portable sinks that have running water. Shelving units were donated. The best part is that when a new teacher was hired she didn't care. She was just excited to be teaching art to children.

A kiln or studio space?!?  Ha! The school didn't have a kitchen!  They turned a bathroom into a nurse's office.

With some creative thinking this can be done but with Fillmore the schools and parents can't seem to think outside the box.

Keeping Fillmore the way it is would seem to be the best "out of the box" thinking there is.  For DCPS, which has been intent on killing Fillmore for years, keeping Fillmore would be truly creative (and sensible) thinking for them.  Leadership is required to create the creative, albeit obvious, spark.[/quote]
