[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How silly.

You are repeating rumors and making a fool out of yourselves.

There was previously a letter that came from teachers to the PTA!! Not parents to the school board. The teachers were extremely concerned about the hostile environment at the school, retaliatory practices of the principal, unhappy, working environment, overly laden with processes, and teacher departures. The PTA approached the principal who had excuses, played victim, said teachers were leaving for normal reasons and PTA contacted BOE for assistance. Nothing happened. PTA did the right thing. They don’t have the power you think.
Flash forward to 2023-2024 and there are more teacher departures and extended leave of absence for key years 3rd and 5th grade (if you don’t know why these are critical in MCPS structure, educate yourself) and parents organized to get help, NOT PTA!!
PTA HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH ALL THIS, their role is to fundraise to support schools and teachers to help create a good community for the students!! Not solve social problems! [/quote]

I don't think you were at the townhall meeting. During the town hall meeting, the VP of the PTA downplayed concerns about teacher turnover by making a comment about 'only having two teachers left, suggesting that it wasn’t a significant issue.' Given that her child just started kindergarten last year, her perspective on the matter may be limited. Additionally, she recommended that any concerns be directed to the PTA first, rather than the Board of Education.[/quote]

Simply put, the VP just doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. [/quote]
