Clearly there is a need to renovate Murch. Murch has a very large student body that is more diverse than most Ward 3 schools. It is a very open community that cares about kids throughout the city. In addition to the early reports on modernization mentioned above, Murch leads several city-wide diversity efforts. It is truly a great school with stellar values.

I question the process DCPS has used for prioritizing renovations. Frankly I think that it is very naive to think it is just the squeaky wheel that gets the funds. DCPS has poured funds into terribly performing schools, and has closed schools only to have to open them again years later. Planning has been a disaster and nobody is being held accountable. The new mayor has given the green light to maintain the status quo.

DCPS needs to do right by Murch.  I hope the renovation starts quickly and is completed quickly. The children in DC deserve certain minimal infrastructure standards. Due to DCPS foot dragging Murch is not meeting these standards. I would hate to see a child injured or harmed in order to get action from DCPS.
