About 10 years ago, Murch had quite a (sort of deserved) reputation for having extremely difficult, unreasonable, and vocal parents. Not that it's right, but perhaps that has something to do with it? You need an ally to get things done at DCPS.

Yes, of course, it is all the parents' fault.

No, and not a fair response - that post didn't say it was the only reason, so don't suggest that it did.  It may have been part of it, though.  Murch needs to be renovated; I think we can all agree on that.  That has nothing to do with whether it is located in Ward 3, has nice parents, was active in boundary discussions, or is located near Janney.  But, wondering why it's being pushed back?  Could be many reasons - and one of them might be a decades old reputation.  Silly, maybe, given the positive efforts of so many there, but it may be.  This City jumps to all sorts of conclusions about people, many of which are unfair and frankly untrue (75% of DCUM responses are like this), and it's almost impossible to change someone's mind.

Good luck, Murch.  I know you all have worked tirelessly on this for years.  I hope, in the end, you get the renovation you desperately need.[/quote]
