[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyway, I hope Murch gets their renovation as they envision it. It's going to be a tough few years. I can't honestly say that if it were my child that I would have them spend two plus years of their pivotal elementary years in a swing space. In wonder if a lot more Murch families will go private, even if the renovation gets funded fully. Any truth to that? Or are Murch families making a pact to stick it out at UDC together?

The vast majority of families love the community, teachers, and principal, and they're happy (per PPs) to finally have a good swing space plan. And now that it's two years in one place, it feels even better.

There will be some movement on the margins--families who were already seriously considering private/charter are probably more likely to pull the trigger, but that's a small group--the idea that Murch has the this huge population of people who can just snap their fingers and send their kids to private (or want to) is a fantasy.

And families with kids in private pre-school will probably keep them there for an extra year rather than start pre-K at Murch in the next two years.

But, honestly, a smaller school population wouldn't be a bad thing for the next two years, especially since the demographic trends show that we'll quickly fill up to capacity once we're in the new building. [/quote]
