[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a MV family with two kids in the school at grade levels that won't be replicated by the expansion. We have been with the school a long time and love many of the teachers, the emphasis on social justice, the other families, and, of course, the bilingual curriculum. We strongly oppose the expansion, along with many of the teachers.

We understand that being heard does not always lead to the desired result, but believe me when I say we were not heard.  Keep in mind this is not the first major decision the administration has made that reversed messaging given to parents and teachers. The best decisions are made after consulting with, or at least considering, the troops on the ground.

Going forward, we hope to stay with the school, but cannot guarantee it. One thing we know for sure, however, is that we will no longer donate money to it. We would consider donating to an independent PTA, which at this point does not exist, but will hopefully be created as a positive reaction to this unfortunate choice by the administration.

Hard to "listen" when 90%+ of MV parents actions betray their words and their words are thin screen for naked self interest.

Langley and myriad other DCPS schools have empty seats.  If those seats are good enough for those not fortunate enough to match at MV and that you did not want to match at MV by opposing their expansion, then DCPS is good enough for you.

Not an MV parent, so - unaffected by the administration's choice to ignore the families who have spent years, love, and money investing in the school.

It's simply untrue that Langley is good enough.  It isn't.  And now, MV isn't going to be either.  The problem is that MV is trying to fly before mastering learning to walk.  Aiming for DCPS level mediocrity isn't good enough.

[b]Glad that they will have to lottery some of their kids into DCI instead of getting automatic feeder rights for them all.  They would water down the cohort for those students coming from better developed schools.[/b][/quote]

Unless, of course DCI decides to expand to absorb these new MV students, as well as the ones from Stokes.

No commitment at all from DCI to do that, but they told their parents last month that they are considering expanding in response to what the feeders are doing, and the PCSB staff said the same thing re DCI in their recommendation to the Board re Stokes.
