[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The report that was presented to the Board by Admin suggested that LAMB has higher than normal attrition levels this year.  There's a sentence suggesting that it is about the pandemic.

I presume that other DCPS and charters in the area have seen similar higher attrition as people move to private or the suburbs or away from the area.[/quote]

The people who were leaving pretty squarely suggest that it is due to the lack of a bus option for those of us who are too far from Kingsbury to make the commute. The attitude from the administration has not been reassuring. I don’t see how a bus with windows open is less safe than a classroom, but I have stopped caring.

I have a ton of sympathy for the poster saying they don’t know where to go unless they win the lottery again. I feel your pain!  I can assure you that the administration has zero interest in helping, and the pto even less. Instead of fundraising for a bus, they literally put money towards a garden path.

I would think that most people would at least pretend to do something about us Brooklanders and beyond, especially since many of us were told the campus would never move from Brookland!  No the school is using the pandemic to cease operation of the bus, and isn’t interested at all in retaining us. Many have left and will continue to leave as they find places elsewhere.

Sending love to you. Hopefully there will be less traffic since many now work from home. Otherwise I am totally out of ideas. [/quote]
