Am curious to hear why you say this. We are inbound for Browne (Early Action guaranteed) but will still try to lottery next year for preK3. We've been thinking of listing Two Rivers Young high on our list because of proximity. FWIW we are in a small two-bedroom and hoping to expand our family. We will likely only be in the neighborhood through K at most.[/quote]

Search many recent threads on the issues with TRY. [/quote]

I looked (and went back 4 pages) it seems there are behavioral problems in the MS, non-specific teacher turnover/availability issues, and leadership turnover (which will likely be rectified through hiring). Its not very obvious to me that those issues would mean not bidding on it for the preK3 lotto next year.[/quote]

You seem awfully dismissive of some huge red flags. You don't find it problematic that the executive director and principal both left midyear? That entire grades of teachers quit midyear?[/quote]

I am no apologist for TR or the departed ED. She was a disaster. Sadly her departure was not related to TR's trajectory. The incompetent, lazy, disconnected Board would have kept her. She left because of a family matter. The schools is actually much better off with her gone. That one is a check in the "win" category.    [/quote]

lol that’s a very benign way of describing why she left.

I didn’t like her either but don’t think the next one is likely to be any better. Problems run deep at two rivers. [/quote]

I'm the PP you responded to. I actually had "family matter" in quotes and removed it before I hit publish. My challenge here is that, while she was incompetent, she is not responsible for her husband's actions. They have a young family and his impending trial and possible jail time are reasonable reasons for her to move closer to home (Baltimore) to spend time with her family.

The more interesting and damning point here is that the Board was happy to keep her on. That's a much larger indictment and problem than Kristina. It is one of the reasons anyone who can escape, should. As long as the current clown show board in is place things won't get better. [/quote]
