[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's own evaluation listed Murch as the third worst learning facility of all schools in the city, and of the two others, one has closed and the other is already funded for renovation. More than 20 schools that DC found to be in better shape are slated for renovation before Murch.[/quote]

What are the other two?[/quote]

Shaw MS at Garnet-Patterson closed, leaving Murch and Orr at the bottom of the list. Orr is listed as having the worst conditions, especially due to its 1970s open floor plan, although it did get a nice new library (FWIW). Its 2014 funding was reprogrammed (Mayor's letter says due to complications with open floor plan renovations - http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/local/mayor-vincent-c-grays-capital-funds-reprogramming-request/825/). Per that letter they are working on designs and do have funding to start in 2015. Nonetheless, we've seen funding changes before, so please support Orr too: https://www.facebook.com/renovateorrelementary.

It seems clear that the worst and the most overcrowded schools need to be taken care of ASAP.
