[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had kids at MV and the school’s leadership truly is horrendous. They marginalize parents and teachers, and undervalue curriculum. MV has had some really good teachers throughout the years, but they leave out of frustration.

I agree with others that the charters are in a difficult financial situation. They don’t have the structural support of a DCPS school and so they turn to expansion to help to create scales of economy.

But the there are much bigger problems at MV than the normal charter school issues. Frankly, I’m shocked that the MV board has been so feckless, disinterested, and/or ignorant about the challenges facing the school. There’s long been a need for new leadership and ample evidence to make changes. But they do nothing. The board should be called out for their inaction.

Re: fundraising, maybe things have changed but MV has always had weak fundraising. Equity issues sidelined what had been a successful gala. But the school shows such disdain for parents that it discourages giving. Also, fundraising can have the effect of empowering parents and this school has survived by disempowering and disengaging parents.

It’s truly sad because this school had so much wonderful energy at the outset. [/quote]

The MV board and the public school charter board need to step in.

Immediate meetings with affected parents should have already been scheduled. This is bananas. [/quote]
