[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI- Not a MV family, but a community member active in the schools- and with immersion programs. Move if you don't like Noyes.

Fact stands- the overwhelming negative embrace by key constituents was ignored.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry MV families. Your voice was not heard or respected in the hearing, nor evidently in the decision making by the Board members.

Unfathomable that not one of the DCPSCB was willing to stand with the 255 families- and neighborhood association- in this decision.[/quote]

Not getting what you want does not mean you weren't heard or respected.  They just didn't agree with you.

Go elsewhere if Mundo is so awful.  You can have my spot at Noyes.[/quote][/quote]

Wad it ignored?  Or was it acknowledged but disagreed with?[/quote]

Not a MV parent, and my kids are past elementary school. I watched both hearings / meetings where this was discussed. They seemed ignored. The school explained most of it away with a version of 'we're working on it' and 'we'll do better' and 'we're delaying a year.'

The Board said they heard the parents, and decided to move ahead anyway because 'they know' it's a good school.

Based on what? They didn't meet 2 of the board's expansion criteria; the PARCC scores aren't that great and half the parents said that they didn't have faith the administration could pull it off.

It felt like it was rigged from the get-go.

Ok, but still.  High retention, biggest wait list in the city= good enough.  Sucky administration is the norm in DC, and if Mundo Uno gets a little worse than it is now, the system as a whole is still better off for having Mundo Dos.  If it's a hot mess, it'll still be an upgrade for the kids who get in.  Please try to get your head around that!

How do you account for the popularity of the school, if it's as bad as you say?  Why is the waitlist so much longer than DCB and Stokes, in particular?[/quote]
